Hi Guys! so you think a low carbon steel was used with some kind of secondary tempering process? I have checked some of the coll rolled sheet steel in the correct thickness, and it is butter soft, It would form great, but would not last too long with even mild use! Are most alloy steels difficult to form? Thanks for the feedback guys! This is quite a learning experience for me! till....later....G.T.
