So are you saying because you bought rods off of some dude who doesn't build them for a living and really had no idea how to build them, and you got burned, that means no one else should bother trying new stuff - even ones built buy a reputable company that builds high performance rods for various applications?

Come on Ben.......

I had always wondered why they were made from 4140 steel when everyone else used 4340. Just seemed a bit odd to me, yet nobody ever said anything about it, not even nwpadmax.

 

[WolfLMM]

4140 is good steel. Way better than what we have stock.....BUT it is to be heat treated properly, or it will crack easily.

I guess mine werent heat treated properly!

 

[McRat]

Ben,

Probably should have sent them to the dealer and had him personally heat-cycle them at 99.0 F

I'm pretty sure that is the correct reading for a rectal thermometer...

Well I received my first sample a bit ago in the mail and found that the stock rod with bolts weighs in at a hefty 1,160.4 grams or a bit over 2.5 pounds!
