Sure enough, last week 2 sq ft. of .100 that had been back ordered since April showed up. So if it's not solved completely, it's getting better. Our supplier tells me that the thicker sizes are starting to show up and the thinner sizes .040" will be coming along shortly. Chuck S |

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