[QUOTE="edge, post: 419853, member: 5030"] We machine Titanium everyday and it is not that hard to machine, at least in the common alloys. Titanium is VERY notch sensitive, meaning that cracks will almost always propagate from some defect. Circular machining marks on a shaft are a real no-no and must be polished out or some other reorientation is needed. Generally it is about 70% heavier than Aluminum and almost as strong as a good steel but rarely as strong as the best steels. Most actions are made from mid-alloy steel....good quality but far from the strongest. In reality most material choices involve trade-offs, and rifle actions are not immune. edge. [/QUOTE]
