RevDocDrew,
Good evening.
I would have thought that the Krupp and Chromox were more along the lines of a 4130/40 with a higher chrome content than a 1045 with a tensile of something like 100k. Wishful thinking. smile
The 1045 makes sense for actions where you are going to case harden. Just thought barrels would be better steel than that.

I may have a stub off of a nitro special at the shop if you want it.
