We have SS, Brass and Copper attys and mods, but how about Bronze? Why isn't it used for this application?

Bronze is an alloy consisting primarily of copper, commonly with about 12% tin and often with the addition of other metals (such as aluminium, manganese, nickel or zinc) and sometimes non-metals or metalloids such as arsenic, phosphorus or silicon.
Same exact deal with brass (plus lead), just zinc instead of tin, so what's your point?

That's why I stick with SS for my attys
Problem with bronze is the conductivity
Plus if I remember shop class right, it's a massive pain in the ass to machine
That's not it, bronze is 5.4 times more conductive then 304SS.
If it's such a pain in the ass to machine, then how come all those sculptures, medals, coins, machine parts are made out of bronze?
Because they're either cast or struck
Yeap, most bronze is cast and very hard to work with...
Would love to see one made out of actual silver that would be great, would have to clean it all the time though :X
My Cronus from the Philippines has a tiger bronze top cap and switch. Here is a tiger bronze Cronus. https://www.google.com/search?q=tig...ei=HIKvV4f_OsOnepf2ndgN#imgrc=ENc9QzISYeR_YM:
Silver oxidation doesn't really effect the conductivity. I would love one myself. Just don't drop it Lol
Nice! Although a little too blingy for my taste, I was thinking more along the lines of a tank though although a 925 VTC mini would be pretty great.
