NEW Hodge Defense AU Mod 2
Aluminum-lithium is stronger then 7075 but to see any weight reduction there would have to be less material to see any advantage to using it. The increase in strength probably doesn't justify the cost. The external fuel tank for the space shuttle was made out of an aluminum lithium alloy as a weight reduction plan in the early 90s.

Correct. Lithium Aluminum is also used on many stress-bearing components of large Airbus planes and has been shown to increase frame-life and reduce maintenance costs.
However, all the empirical data in the world is useless to some people until we prove that it's better than 6601 for a receiver. I assume they use 6601 and prefer it to 7075, because as far as I am aware, I've never heard of a 6601 receiver being worn out...ergo...7075 is also "a waste" according to some.
Really though, it boils down to this: Are you the kind of guy who is lusting for a Rock River or DPMS? Then this isn't for you. Or...are you the kind of guy looking at Noveske/LaRue/KAC? Then you should also consider the AU-MOD2.

This whole product line is sounding more and more like the emperor' sinew clothes.
Sooner or later the gun will climb out from under the rock it's been hiding under, and we will see what is what.WWW.TACTICALYELLOWVISOR.NET

So is that a picture of the unicorn? Where'd it come from, and what's the magic sauce we're all supposed to choke on now that it's out?

It's genius marketing,mill grant them that. Emperor's new clothes always is. Add in "tier one" and how can I possibly keep my wallet in my pocket?
