I figured I post this here. I know there is a lot of knowledge here about steel and heat treating.
I'm in the process of building a barrel for a custom Remington 700 in 223. The guy that is helping me build the barrel has told me to order a 416R heat treated and resulfurized length of stainless steel 1 1/4 inches in diameter by 30 inches long.
Heres the problem. The only place I know to get the steel from only get the steel that hasn't been heat treated. They want 160$ delivered. Is this a good deal? Also, where do I send the steel to get it heat treated?
I have no clue about the different steels out there or what resulfurized means. Any help would be appreciated. If you guys know of a place to order the stock from, that would be a huge help as well.
Thanks!!!
