Mr. Chick, the external metal (frame, forend & TG) will be 8620. All internal parts will use the best steel available for their particular need. IE --- triggers, sears and hammer will be best grade D2 & etc. for different parts. I spoke with Steve E. while ago and he said he would try to find time to check in for a short post today. He works the hours I do and seven days a week --- pleasure time is short for him too. Ken
