Switching 3/8 X 10 to G10

Stainless steel is made with chromium. The higher the chromium, the less magnetic. Examples of very high chromium SS would be parts made for boats that would see a lot of salt water.
As for my pin, it is aluminum. I tested it with anodizing that I use on aluminum gun sites. You learn something new every day.

It's the alloy. Some (martensitic) are a little magnetic, others (austenitic) are not. Yes, I am a silly engineer with too much trivial "information" crammed into a very small brain.

The Difference Between Austenitic Stainless Steel and Martensitic Stainless Steel

Stainless steel fasteners are highly durable and can withstand extreme temperatures, making them suitable for use in a wide range of industries and applications. Some of the most common reasons for using stainless steel fasteners are their corrosion resistance, durability, aesthetics and strength.

It's good to laugh, one of my favorite pastimes. Hope all is well with you and you haven't been too hammered by snow.

Dave <-- also tries magnets on stainless just for fun :)
