Thanks, Martin.
I have asked them about Stressproof in the past and they didn't have access or didn't want to or something. Just an "equivalent". I'll contact them. They're a really good bunch of guys there in Winnipeg. I highly recommend them.
Now that I think of it one of our local machine shops sold me some Stressproof. They probably won't have it but you never know.

Allan I'm curious , why do you want Stressproof ? Back in the mid 90s' I had a recurring job ( a recoil arrester for a rifle co. ) and they oked' Stressproof for the part . That stuff saved my day .
Hi, Mark.
I don't actually want Stressproof. I want ETD 150. I need to make a pin for the hammer of an old Piepert rolling block rifle I snagged at a gun show. It had the receiver, the lever and the hammer. Nothing else.
Being a Remington style rolling block action most of the bolt thrust is on the hammer pin. It is only .211" diameter. I want it to be as strong as possible. ETD 150 is very strong (130,000 pis yield) and supposed to be nice to machine.
Thinking of chambering it in a 17 cal of some kind.

I guess I was spoiled. Our hometown steel supplier carries it, along with Stressproof, 12L14, etc.

The owner is a prince, one of the finest people I've ever met. For a piece that small, they may be willing to ship. Never hurts to ask.

Cooter, that sounds like tough stuff and would do a great job. But It also requires heat treating and sounds a little nasty to machine. I think I'll pass on it but thanks for the thought. ETD is already hardened and machines at 70% which is important since I need to thread one end.
