I purchased one of these from Sarco, http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/dumoulin-mauser-action.aspx and will pick it up Sunday.
I now realize that the description states that it is "This is an A-2 steel, forged / heat treated body ......" and not the typical 4140 steel.
Did I make a bad decision to base a 35 Whelen on this receiver?

Thanks for the education and information.
