Hoppdoc,

I am no expert so I shall be glad if the experts correct me.

SOme years ago when I wrote ana rticle on fine guns for an Indian magazine, Hannes Fanzoj of Johan Fanzoj sent me some information on two grades of Boehler steel that they used for their guns. There was a standard grade and a superior one called Super Blitz which they used to build thinner and lighter barrels. I have no idea whether this could be used for any parts other than barrels though if you work with a gunmaker he would be able to guide you.

What gun are you planning to build and have you decided on whom it is going to be by?

Good hunting!
