[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 962355, member: 25383"] if that is the same rifle company I'm thinking of they use most 8620 steel. Nothing but hot rolled low carbon steel, and not exactly the best thing on the planet. 8620 has pretty much replaced CRS 1010 thru 1020 because it machines much better (not gummy with a little better quality control). On the otherhand you can carburize and harden it with a .025" case pretty easily. I'll pass! Speaking of Mauser actions. I once had a buddy (been in the ground for ten years now) that bought two of the old Mark 10 "Mini Mauser" actions when they were practically giving them away. He built either a 6BR or a 22PPC short on that action. Shot like a house on fire! The down side was that he had to virtually hand make everything that went into the rifle, and he worked it for a solid year. A solid quarter inch rifle day in and day out! I should have bought a couple of them as well, and he tried to get me to buy at least one. gary [/QUOTE]
