METL only needs about a 2" section. AND I'm still searching for Hunter Arms Crown and Nitro steel barrels to test. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

The WPS steel used for forging an action or receiver may be a different animal than the free machining steel a manufacturer would specify for barrels. A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
