Is this steel or aluminum?

I am almost positive it's aluminum. But I do not have it in my hand to confirm. It is very precisely made and well coated black. It also comes with a separate steel washer to sit flush against the barrel. I sent a few hundred rounds down range through it and it does not come loose. Just remember this is for the thicker bull barrel for smooth, flush look (or it will extend outside the diameter of the regular barrel).

6061 Aluminum. Then hard coat anodized.....like an AR lower or well made upper.

It is stainless steel, NOT aluminum. A beautiful pan- a magnet does not stick

Its heavier than aluminum. Def not aluminum. Solid steel construction. Does not feel flimsy. Even the knobs and threads. Highly recomend

I know it's not steel nor plastic. It is probably some thick kind of aluminum. It is sturdy, whatever it is. You would be satisfied with it. Hope this helps.

It is most definitely aluminum. It is very strong and I am quite pleased with it. I have had it about 6 months. I installed it myself and found it very easy to do.

Thank you for asking this question. I was trying to figure out how to test the material and you found the answer. So if its not steel, what is it? Aluminum blend I guess.

It's a thick-feeling metal, I'm not sure if it's steel or aluminum but it's very sturdy and feels heavy in your hand. Works great!

It's metal, feels more solid than aluminum but not sure. It's a quality piece.

I would say not aluminum because I was rough with mine a couple of times and it started to rust.

This is steel. Quite heavy actually. I have used this extensively and highly recommend it. It rolls easily.

I'm not sure whether aluminum or steel, but it is fairly sturdy. It stood up to very strong winds.

Dear Eileen, Actually it is high quality aluminum. I would highly recommend this product. I use it constantly and love it especially when grinding ginger. Great product!

It appears to be stainless steel. I believe it is a combo of both. It is pretty heavy for aluminum. It length is 10". The width of heads are 2 3/8"wide. One is flat and other side is ridged with raised multi-points. This was an excellent purchase and I have used the heck out of it. I wish the ridge part was a little deeper. It feels very secure and balanced when using it.

I think the steel one is a different model than the aluminum. It has a different letter after the name

I'm pretty sure it's stainless, but the manufacturers website would probably give you the best answer. It doesn't feel like aluminum.

It's a cast piece that seems to be metal, not aluminum. It's very durable and a great tool to have.
