    Question: Henry "Brasslite" Receiver

    Question: Kimber K6s

    I have done some Kimber stainless autos without difficulty. It might be worth a call to Kimber to speak with their technical people about the steel in their revolvers. They are usually forth coming about the steel types and Rockwell hardness.
