Oct 30th 2024
High-Strength Precision
Our choice of 4140 Chromalloy ensures every component is built to withstand pressures and impacts without compromising durability or precision. Gunsmiths will appreciate this reliability in our bolt actions, which handle extreme usage and demand resilience. Manufacturers can trust 1934 Armory's commitment to robust, high-performing bolt actions.
Durability that Stands the Test of Time
The chromium content in 4140 enhances wear resistance, which isessential for moving parts exposed to continuous friction and explosive forces. Using materials with longevity, 1934 Armory helps gunsmiths and manufacturers maintain the quality and performance customers expect. This wear resistance is essential for sales and brand loyalty, allowing our partners to deliver firearms known for consistent performance.
Tailored Hardness and Flexibility
4140 is highly versatile because it can be heat-treated to achieve different hardness levels. This makes it suitable for various parts of firearms. For gunsmiths looking for precision in each cut, 4140's machinability is priceless. Our clients value the material's strength, which helps us produce reliable, high-quality firearms that meet industry standards.
Cost-Effective Without Compromise
The combination of performance and cost-effectiveness sets 4140 Chromalloy apart. Unlike high-cost specialty steels, it provides the strength and toughness essential for high-quality firearms without the premium price. This makes it accessible to both custom gun builders and large-scale manufacturers.
Corrosion Resistance & Custom Finishes
While not stainless steel, 4140's chromium content provides natural resistance against corrosion. Combined with treatments like bluing, parkerizing, or nitriding, each 1934 Armory firearm gains added layers of protection. This improves longevity and ensures each product maintains its quality and aesthetic.
