Re: Your preference - new best quality or vintage?

I prefer Jones underlever hammer guns. Have a 450-3 1/4" and a 577 2 3/4".
A 4140 rifle barrel at 30-32 rockwell has been hardend and tempered. Consulting my Ryerson alloy steel reference book,I find the following 4140 information.
1 inch diameter bar.
Quench 1500 to 1550 F.
Temper 1000 F. 37 RC
Temper 1200 F. 27 Rc
