Here’s a picture of .138 bar. Every piece I’ve ever received from Admiral in 14C28N has been similar

Unless my eyes are deceiving me that's a pretty clean surface. I got a small piece of 440c from them a while back but the mill scale was extremely thick and it took me way too long to grind it down to a clean surface. So I've been wary of their HRA. But that looks good

Now I see that Admiral is saying that steels may be oversized by upto 0.040 inches.

Hear is another picture of 14C28N from Admrial.

That's super helpful, thanks for the pic. That looks cold rolled annealed to me even though they're saying hot rolled. Yes they told me their incoming (June) .156 is going to be .04 oversized, which is *a lot*. Will be interesting to see.
