Which anyone who knew that he was talking about would express such results as Rc35-37. And that would be well understood. "36ish"?
Which is why the company that does heat treating for me does 2 opposite sides (on larger pieces).
I don't know if you know your "butt from a burnt biscuit" or not. Nor do I care. However, it is clear that you don't know what steel OR temper makes a good bolt action. And it is becoming increasingly clear that you don't understand steels, tempering OR testing of same.
Your "Word of warning" (from your original post in this thread) is FALSE!!! Do you remember writing:
FAIL!!! LMAO
Frankly I don't care what your background is. Just because you have drifted around for years doing various things doesn't mean you learned a thing or that you can apply what ever knowledge you did glean.
You make them or your "(under 10 guys)" make them while you sit in the office taking credit for what they do? I know a guy that owns a company making machine tools. He couldn't put a plug on a lamp cord, he hires electricians... I doubt he could figure out where to put the welding rod, he hires welders... The fact is he couldn't do ANY of the jobs required to make the products his company makes... He hires others to do it. But he is a good salesman! And that is why his company survives.
And just like my friend above, they don't care about you or your abilities... What they care about is the product that ships. Which has more baring on your "(under 10 guys)" than it does on you.
I'm not concerned about you or your feelings, either way. I'm far more interested in making sure others know the facts. I think myself, speerchucker and a couple others here have make it reasonably clear that fine bolt actions CAN be made from 4140HT... Moving on then...
I don't WANT to make 1¢ off my gun building knowledge. Why would I want to take a pay cut to build firearms for someone else? It's far more fun to do what I do and make firearms for myself.
this is excellent...i read every word of this. you guys should post pictures of yourselves so we can vote who would win this fight.
