Type of metal to use
« on: June 30, 2008, 01:04:15 PM »
I have a TCR 83 and after some research found out that the TC factory that housed the barrels and such burned down.  My question is, what type of metal would be best suited for the barrel block on these guns.  I have a friend who programs CNC machines and can make about anything.  I figure if I had the block, I could get a good gunsmith to put whatever barrel I wanted on it with some welding.

Any thoughts?
