Cool stuff  thumb1 With that much vanadium I'd say it's a precursor to 4340, but I'm not a metallurgist.

ran out of paper did the best I could so I just painted the damned thing black. the paint filled in the trenches AKA scratches and now it somewhat resembles a Russian black bolt refurb.

I don't expect the paint to last long though, I'd like to get my hands on the paint the Russians used!

I only use black oxide anymore... Worked well on a carrier I did also!

1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.
