Standing up in a vise? End milling to relieve a convoluted profile?
Most would select or locate a pair of tooling holes, rough it on a bandsaw, mount on an angle plate, and rough it in a little closer, then finish.
That, otherwise is going to warp uncontrollably, regardless being 4100 series.
If it were a production item, wire EDM, maybe water jet.
Laser or plasma, quick but caseharden the surfaces, not deep, and eat smaller cutters.
40 or 50 seconds all I could stand.

Never seen an octagonal nut then? Still find them in use now, much more common in 1919!

Methinks this guy is crazier than he thinks the original "inventor" was. Though I wonder if there is a particular rifle this would work as a barrel wrench for?
