Not only can it be made with traditional machining (we're talking manual lathe here), it can be made with off the shelf components. Will it require welding and or threads? Yes. Is that an actual downside? Heck no! By using a titanium tube and baffles (save for the blast baffle), you would likely get it down to 6oz for that same size, or be able to step up to 1.5" for about the same weight. The reason it's so light is the diameter is tiny, and you shed a ton of weight doing that, at the expense of volume of course.
