Our supplier tells me that the thicker sizes are starting to show up and the
thinner sizes .040" will be coming along shortly.

That's a big stamp. Does it have a painting of Bessemer on it? :-)

The last batch I got had no Mil stamp, ASTM, or other recoganisable
spec. All it had was "4130". Looks and feels "strange". I assume it
to be 4130A, of some sort, but until I know more about it there will
be no plane parts made from it. AS+S says they will sub 4130A but my
E-mail as to exactly what they shipped fell on deaf ears...........

Know what your buying before you pay. The cost per ft. sq. was very
good - if it is in fact usable.
