It's for a vault lock rifle. The FM no2 from the Haas book.
I think he calls for 4140 because it is already heat treated.
The reciever needs to start at 1.5 x 2.5 x 4. I already have a chunk of round for the breech block.
I don't need it right away or anything though. At the rate I work, I should get to it in a few years.
I figured if I was to order metal, I would go ahead and buy stock to build the Chicopee too.
I still need barrels though. I usually just start picking up parts a little at a time and then kind of set them in piles that may or may not ever move. I haven't even decided on caliber yet. It's just a pipe dream right now.
I really like these little .22lr builds because they can be built from mild steel, and .22lr barrels are the easiest to find (at least for me).
The next build is already in the works (from my own design), so anything after that will be distant future stuff.
