gunmetal
Gun metal, also known as red brass in the United States, is a type of bronze – an alloy of copper, tin, and zinc. Proportions vary but 88% copper, 8–10% tin, and 2–4% zinc is an approximation. Originally used chiefly for making guns, it has largely been replaced by steel for that purpose. Gunmetal casts and machines well, and is resistant to corrosion from steam and salt water. It is used to make steam and hydraulic castings, valves, gears, statues, and various small objects, such as buttons. It has a tensile strength of 221 megapascals (32,100 psi) to 310 megapascals (45,000 psi), a specific gravity of 8.7, a Brinell hardness of 65 to 74, and a melting point of around 1,000 degrees Celsius.
I have five Pmags for the AR-10 that have been cerakoted by Lucky Sporting Goods in H-219 Gunmetal Grey. Four 20-Rounders, and one 25-rounder. Baseplates are also cerakoted to match. Have not cycled them. Had him leave a bit of texture, which feels nice and grippy.
