Based on the MPA numbers I've been able to guess. Knowing 7075 does not extrude easily but this blend is formulated to extrude well. My guess is the SCAR upper comes in north of 300 MPA. Which would be close to most 7000 series. I also think materials have changed since 2012. (I know the polymer is different).
To be honest I'm a medic by trade and do not have the background in metallurgy to discuss the finer points. But I'll stand by what I was told and who told me.
