I cut down and window aluminum ones for a 1 Oz extra long COAL mag, but they require a lot of precise dremel work to work well, and 3 round max for the long COAL before the integrity of the mag is ruined (unless you can weld aluminum anyhow).

These look like a match made in heaven for a ULUL as long as they’re quiet enough. Light and cheap.

I would like to hear how they sound compared to the Airlock, the Scythe-ti, the S-Ti, etc.

I have one backordered. Same for the Airlock Nano now

Can't wait to compare them to each other and my other cans.

Not sure if it’s been covered, but the lightest way I found to plug a gas port is a Samson Lightweight Gas Block that’s only 0.36 oz after it’s been cut down.

Out of curiosity how does this compare weight wise to other builds using carbon lowers and such?
Right. It seems maybe heavier at 15-16 ounces?

My complete lower weighs 6.2oz with the NFA poly lpk, Hogue 15degree grip, v7 ti grip screw, carbon fiber lower.
9.4oz including my quick detach stock.
This is the setup we used to harvest 4 cow elk last month. Each took 1 shot with the 77tmk. Two were over 300 yards.

If you look way back in this thread you'll see where some of us threaded the port and put in a threaded plug. I used jb weld to secure it and it worked great, and I run hot reloads.
-saves you 1/3 oz
Fwiw
Reminds me of the 22 rimfire can I have waiting at the local gunstore (Pluto). It's 2oz and has testing that shows it's comparable with the 4oz banish 22 and mask.

I mention that because if they can cut half the weight there, then maybe the one you posted has a chance of measuring up. How's the internal volume? If it compares with the scythe then this might be amazing, although with my step up to HOT 223 ackley reloads it probably won't work for me ./cry
I'm gonna bet that these insanely light ti cans are going to be easy to dent, but I think it's worth it.
