Hello!

A friend of mine has a 22 magnum (WMR) single shot bolt rifle and the bolt is very rusted. As an amateur machinist I can make one using my tools (lathe and mill) but I don't know the best alloy for it. I have now a 4130 pretreated steel rod at 32 HRC.

Could I use this alloy safely?

The original bolt shows 30 HRC but I don't know what kind of steel.

Thanks and happy new year!
