I had some extra titanium stock from another project laying around and had just received my LAW Tactical folding stock adapter so I decided to machine a new bolt insert/extension from TI.

Don't mind the pivot pin and washer. Those are for my motorcycle.

Sweet. How much lighter is it? I love my folder but the weight is a drawback.

I just weighed them for you, so you should feel special.  
The the steel one without the rubber parts is 60 grams and my TI is 35 grams with the rubber parts on it.

I thought the parts was kind of heavy also. I may make another and drill all the way through it and remove some more material to lighten it up more. I see no stress issues since it just pushes the buffer back.

If we ever get the chance to rewind I will contine with Metal Shop.  Nice work.
