| Del-Ton just sent me an email about these. What's the story? Seems they're harder than chrome-moly, but are they then more brittle? |
|
Does the email have a link? I can't find any reference to them on their site. Vanadium is used in tool steel, sounds pretty interesting! ETA after looking around a bit there seems to be evidence that colt and FN use CMV (for at least some of their barrels) which is almost identical to ORD 4150 but with a little Vanadium added in. |
