What he said is what you hope that the students pick up to the extent possible.
The only slight addition is historical, not technical, and that is that the 8620 chromium, molybdenum, nickel alloy actually pre-dates M-14's and was used in M1 Garands back into the 1930's.

I just ran across this old photo whilst linking a linseed oil cleaner photo to another thread. Don't remember why it was taken, except it's got some great reference material. (Newest is probably 1980s, but some things don't get better in newer editions. Like Timoshenko's book: the first edition was the best.)
Spotts' book ain't bad. Which is why it's still about the house, I guess.
