6061 is not "aerospace specification" any more than leather boot laces, spruce sticks, or canvas are. Yeah, they use some 6061 in airplanes. And it's hard to beat if you want a material to make beer cans out of. But a reciever in anything short of 7075 I would not buy.If they don't want to pay the extra $5 to start out weith a decen 7075 blank instead of 6061, I would not buy from them- unless I supplied my own blank.
My ,02. And yes, I know it's only a .22 but still.....
Depending how custom you want, Volquartsen makes similar. Pricey, but good- probably not 6061 although I can't say for sure.
