[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 12932, member: 82"] I have never had an issue with 4140, its not high tensile, it machines easily. I got mine heat treated properly, it was nitrided that goes in about .012” the rest of the inside is still *soft*, there is no risk in the pin shearing or fracturing. Even if you don't get it heat treated its still super tough stuff. With that said, if the backyard handyman heats it up and dunks it in water to harden it sure, you are asking for trouble! If not done rite it becomes super hard but very brittle! [/QUOTE]
