Yes I agree.....they are both better made today... :p

They might be better made. They lack the charm of the old ones though...

So, I got an email stating the drum is not brass, but a couple of members have stated that it is, and several have not said brass or not. I have arrived at the end of my usual short road to confusion.

I'm interested in knowing in order to increase my knowledge.

So which is it, please?

Thanks,

Jimmy Hoffa, I mean Kevin.... see.. I'm confused

This is not a brass shell. It is an Acrolite and they are all aluminum/Ludalloy

Did someone think it was brass? Acrolite?

They thought this because someone stated it had a "B" stamp......what they didn't figure on was it was an INK stamp on the INSIDE of the shell.....

Yeah, I see that now. I know the brass Supra's had the "B" stamped on the outside, over the strainer, correct? Or next to the vent? Somewhere out there.....
