^ I was thinking of the material specifically. Curious about the 'M' 4340. Since it's only a few alloying elements different than 'normal' 4340, I wouldn't think it would too different price-wise.

But then I'm thinking that if the effort is made to modify 4340 for superior properties it is also likely that it will be made with higher-purity (vacuum re-melt) and therefor more expensive manufacturing processes?
