Has dlask thought about using say 4140, or even 1144, then getting them nitrided??
AFAIK, it has been considered,
but it will not happen as it would increase the price very much.

I think it would be well worth the extra cost in materials to use 4140, it wouldn't have to be so bulky for the same rigidity. Actually A complete re design with a threaded on barrel, and a rear bedding block of some sort would be nice, for a 2 screw mount instead of just one.
I don't believe there are big differences in weight.Interesting. That flat top is really thick at the top of the receiver. Almost makes me wish I had waited to get one. Are there significant differences in weight compared to the railed receiver?
Did there price when up without changing on their web page? because they charge me more then listed on my account page.
To complete the receiver blank you'd need to:
1) Drill two cross pin holes through 3/16
2) Drill stock hold down screw hole #16 drill and tap #12x24 tpi
3) Drill two #16 holes for V-block and tap with #12x24 tpi.
4) Drill (counter bore) two 1/4 holes v-block .700 inch deep.
5) Drill/bore the barrel hole to 11/16
6) Drill 1/16 deep the bolt return spring rod seat with 1/8 drill
