I'm sure that SPA doesn't offer a titanium alloy cylinder or bottle for anything they make. Titanium is a lot more expensive than aluminum and also much harder to work with. It is light for it's strength but I doubt it would be lighter than a carbon fiber reinforced aluminum bottle. As I've said before, I think the carbon fiber bottles are also safer because the carbon fiber overwrap would seem to contain any holes or tears in the aluminum liner preventing them from flying away - potentially in your direction. I see carbon fiber reinforced bottles as the best option. I'm not sure SPA ships with those either but Wes at Air Archery Fun will sell you a M60 with a carbon fiber bottle.

Titanium sounds interesting? Many subs built from titanium for sure. Not sure it would any lighter than carbon?

About 45% lighter than steel for the same mass. No, not lighter than Carbon Fiber. Aluminum is about 35% lighter than Titanium for the same mass.

You would have to ask someone with a current education in metallurgy as to the newer alloys of aluminum and Titanium.

my old luck with shopping:

i got a M60B .35 calfrom krale with the collar lacking a fill-port, and the screw-in fill adapter had a broken foster fitting, until they send a new one.
then after the new batch of bottle collars with fill port arrived from airgun archery fun, it was lacking the check valve (so i could not use it to swap bottles, like i had hoped) and also the foster fitting was leaking. =(

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I had to clean the dozen of so I got from Wes, all of them leaked!

my collar came with an extra foster valve, that worked a bit better then the original snowpeak plastique insert.
when you got them, did you get them with the check valve so the bottle can be taken off under (rest-)pressure?
