 Topic: A5 MaterialsPosted: 14 December 2008 at 9:54am |

Hi, I'm just asking, I need some informations about materials beeing used in the A5 construction. I need informations about 3 specific pieces: - Body receivers - Powertube - Rear bolt As far as I know, the receivers are made from aluminium, but I'm not sure at 100%, I know the powertube is made from plastic but if someone knows the exact type of plastic I would need it, and the rear bolt, I just found out on Dark Horizon Bolts site that it was made out of steel, but is someone knowing the exact type of steel? Thank you for your help. Edited by corporate ghost - 14 December 2008 at 10:15am |

Low-grade cast aluminum recievers. Generic plastic on the powertube.
And the bolt is some grade of stainless steel. Nobody outside of Tippmann Design could give you a specific SAE number. |

without testing it, it is probably a 6061 or a 7000 series aluminum. a little less than aircraft grade aluminum. The plastic could be a UHMW type.
