Re: Anyone use aluminum bolts?
To shave off some weight in Seattle so that we could increase (double, it turns out) shooting performance, we swapped the bolts provided with the AM C-Base Chassis with equivalent hardware in 2024-T6 aluminum.
The swap was expensive -- we used about $40 worth of hardware -- but it has performed well.
I wouldn't use them everywhere, but with the structural additions we made to the standard frame in the design of our drive pods, I suspect that we have far more bolts holding the frame together than we really need anyway, so the swap was safe.
