Ya for sure you woudl want to epoxy and clamp so you did it the right way. I would like to see a pic of the inside. Did he pocket out as much material as possible to keep weight down. Weight is the big down side with brass or copper scales.

He has a pic on his website.

This one isn't a keeper for me. It's heavier than I usually like to carry.

Thats the main reason I tell people I only do brass / copper on 58mm size. On 91/93 I think it would be better to only do a thin skin over a Ti body, to have the look but not the weight.
