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.

I just go to my local steel stockholder (no help to you, in the UK)

AISI4340/EN24 is a standard product and should be available at least, in
hot-rolled rectangle form. Only issue is that a steelyard will want you to buy
a complete length. This is how you build up stock for future projects :-)
