Hi,
I would tend to agree, mild steel would probably be fine for home use. 4140 pre-hard @ 35Rc to 40Rc would also save the hassle of heat treatment and still be machinable for the home shop.
Thanks for the stock sizes Tom. That will make things so much easier. I guess it will be another trip to the big evil city to go to the steel store.
