I agree, i like the stuff on the riffle it feels nice and looks good. Yea, they have some nice steelI have heard people say that Civivi uses cheap micarta but I really like this kind the best out of all I have tried.
It looks nice and it has the perfect amount of grip.
I did not realize it had 14c28 steel till I got it in the mail and that was a great surprise.
I thought this was D2.
Either way Civivi does do a decent heat treat on all the steel I have tried from them so far.
