Looking for 4340, annealed, in 1" x 2" size. Length is 4" minimum.
Speedy, Metal Express, and others do rounds, and I'm not ready to carve
a rectangle from a round.
Do you really need 4340? I think the major difference between 4340 and
4140 is hardenability. If you need maximum strength all the way thru a
large section 4340 is indicated, if not, short pieces of 4140 flat
will be easier find.
