[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 636999, member: 25383"] small correction. The material would have been 416 stainless steel. 316 is what most stainless nuts and bolts are made out of, and not good barrel material at all. 17PH4 is a completely different alloy yet, and much harder to work with than 416. It's pretty tough stuff, and is what they made landing gear out of for ship board landings. Trying to place what steel mill that would have been near Chicago. Would have been in either East Chicago or Gary Indiana (all very close to Chicago). My guess is that it came out of Newcore a little south of there, and they did a lot of specialized alloys (known as a "mini mill") Alro is the big supplier in Indiana, and they don't use much from this area. Just kinda interesting as I've never ran accross a single supplier for SS steel within 350 miles of Indy. I would have bought steel from them had I known who they were. gary [/QUOTE]
