Source: TJ Davies Co. Inc. TJ Davies retention knobs are manufactured from American-made 8620 alloy steel that is machined in-house with single point threading to imperial (Class 2A UNC) or metric (Class G6) specifications. The use of 8620 alloy steel means the components will harden over time, rather than becoming brittle. After threading is completed, each component is heat treated to 58-62 HRC to a depth of 0.020 to 0.030, then treated with hot black oxide to military specifications for prote
