O1 vs 52100 Is the latter that much better?

[B . Buxton]

You guys that use 52100, where is a good place to purchase some round or square stock in the 3/4" version, other than admiral steel or mcmaster-carr.

Thanks
Bill

I buy mine from Rex Walter, it is big enough to provide the opportunity to get the most out of the steel.

Jeff Carslisle of Swauins Springs in Great Falls Montanr 406-452-1246 also sells it as does Darykl Meyer. they are both good folks.
