It is my understanding that bbl steel was bbl steel. As an example, 4140 is the prefered steel for bbl's today. If two different co's. use the same steel to bore for bbl's, wherein lies the difference ? Perhaps there may be some difference in heat treating to bring the steel to its best toughness. That being, wouldn't all the different bbl makers use the same method ? I ersonally don't see the difference --- maybe it was a gimick to raise the value/cost of these bbl's. ????? Ken
