Top one is 4140, bottom is 5160.

Thank YouThey look awesome

I work part time in a machine shop and can sometimes get steel for scrap prices.
Crap, you got me.I was just having fun with you. I'm a machinist. Although over the years, I've become more of a mechanic.
It's a useful skill, that's for certain.Crap, you got me.
I'm not a machinist, yet, more of an amateur that fools around on a mill and likes making stuff out of steel. Machining seems to dovetail well with my blacksmith/gun hobby, so I am learning part time.
Thanks for the compliments guys.
I have sold a couple here, but I'm not a vendor or sponsor or anything, so I didn't know if I should do too much of it.
