[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 430851, member: 25383"] most folks like to use 8620 in machining processes because of it machining properties. I am too damned lazy to go out to the garage and get a steel handbook to see what's in it, but it does seem like it has a good bit of sulphur in it. It's not gummy when you cut it like 1020. It's a good steel for sure, and in low pressure apps; you can't beat it. Still if I were cutting a Sharps reciever, I think I'd start with a 4350 or even 4150 billet; and be done with it. In the end your money ahead when you look at heat treating the metal as well as a normalizing process in the middle. Most all the guys I know that shoot the Pedersoli use nothing but black powder for 600 thru 1000 yard target shooting (per the rules). Two guys I know of shoot rebarreled ones in 40-65 and 45-60, and never miss the gong. (HOW?) Myself, I'm a Hi-Wall person from the get go! gary [/QUOTE]
