Ron:

If it is a Luxfer Aluminum, it may be made of the alloy that is prone to neck cracks. If properly inspected and tested, it should be OK, but as the other posts say below, steel 72s are plentyful and cheap. Plus they allow you to take 4# off of your weight belt.

For more info on Luxfer cylinders, go to the Luxfer Cylinders press release page: http://www.luxfercylinders.com/news/releases/20040204.shtml
