Recognizing Cast Iron Tippmann Boss

[TZHunter]

I'm corresponding with someone who is selling a Boss, but they don't know if it is Cast Iron or Aluminum. The person has no idea of judging weight. It was purchased from Tippmann in 2003. Is there any other marking, etc that will guarantee its Cast Iron (which I want)? Is there something different on the Model between the Cast Iron vs Aluminum?

Much Thanks, TZHunter

Very simple. A magnet will stick to the iron, and not aluminum.

Arbo, Thanks Much ! That's and excellent way to determine whether its Iron or Aluminum.

Thanks again, TZHunter

My cast iron one didn't have the graphics on the faceplate of the head that the aluminum ones I see have.
