silver head on my new cat pump

[Mikey P]

I thought they were always brass for our needs..
My new 5cp came with a silvery (stainless? ) head on it...

What do you think?


Or know..

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Forged Stainless.

Better.

 

[Dolly Llama]

it's what's on my 5CP

no problemos

..L.T.A.

 

[bob vawter]

i had one....it was a CAST Stainless.......not billet!
still good........but not as good as a machined stainless billet!

a Stainless Hydra Cell manifold will NOT freeze and break....

 

[Larry Cobb]

I am not positive . . .

but I think the head is plated brass.

[GeneMiller]

why would you plate brass, i think mine is stainless. i don't remember the numbers but i think it has a S in the name because it stainless.

[bob vawter]

i callt the factory to see exZACTly what it was and they told me it was cast stainless.......
to be honest i've never heard of cast stainless before!

 

[Shane T]

I also believe its plated brass. I know an old 290 of mine is plated brass.

 

[Ron Werner]

as long as it works

 

[Duane Oxley]

Nickel plated BRONZE, if I'm not mistaken...

The stainless heads cause the price of the pump to more than double and are special order.

Been going on for awhile .
"Pine Tree" is Ruger's world class casting facility where they make their gun frames and receivers.
Anyone that knows Ruger, knows their big bore hunting revolvers are HEAVY DUTY and will take the pounding from super hot hunting loads.

Pine Tree makes more than just cast stainless gun frames too.
they also make golf club heads for major golf club manufactures out of...you guessed it, cast stainless.

[Mikey P]

yep!

Mike Roden is the Great White Hunter and has connections with them. At the time Prochem and Ruger were neighbors, I believe.

 

[Mikey P]

and to prove it I can take a picture of where they stamped a diagram of the cleaning pie along with a warning to never the wand point in the direction of a living being as well as the lyrics to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

 

[rhyde]

fish on!

Not a guess, it's plated brass.

Wev'e frozen/split, and tried ("tried", because it never seated afterwards) to braze them.

Thx,
