TRM Titanium Atom & Neutron - History & Small Details Review - Atomic Scales
Published: 2 years ago
Today we're taking a close look at something truly special: two totally titanium TRMs! That's right, we've got two (technically three) pairs of 3D milled Ti scales from Three Rivers Manufacturing for the Atom and Neutron 2!
We're going to take a look at what makes them so special, the history of how they came about (and they they took so long), and they they are *NOT* "The Atomic"!
Huuuuge thank you to my friends Joe and Corey for sending me these my way to show all of you (and double thanks to Joe for helping me get a pair for myself!)
