Some anvils, especially older ones are a wrought iron body with a hardened steel face. Lower end would have a cast iron body with a hardened face. A lot of newer high end anvils are cast steel with the face hardened. So the bodies are typically softer than the face. As a smith I have to say it! It’s a shame to be punching holes in those anvils.😂
Imagine a weekly stream or every few weeks, where he sits and streams for an hour or 2 sighting in a few firearms and answering questions. Eventually everything would be re-sighted and it'd be a way to interact directly with the demolitia more.
Matt, The Hardened one only has a 3/4" high carbon plate in the top surface, the rest of the body is cast, same as the other one. If you look at the side, on most hardened anvils you will see the line between the cast body and the plate.
@@DriveCarToBar work hardening is a pretty minor increase that is very superficial. You can tell the difference when you're working on it, but not when you're shooting it.

Someone else may point this out, but normally only the face (the top work surface) of the anvil is hardened. Sometimes the horn will be as well, but that's not at all common. The face is the part meant to take the most beating and so it's the only part that really has any advantage to being hardened. In other words, to do a proper "hardened vs unhardened" test you'd have to flip them on their end and shoot the face, not the sides.
@@David.Lopez.12 I think the first time I ever heard the cameraman was the pudding fatsuit episode. You know it's funny when the cameraman breaks character.
This was literally the best science I've seen on the channel yet. You had a problem, then a hypothesis, and you tested it, then proved your hypothesis. Nice!
I suspect that unless you shoot the faces, the anvils will perform nearly identically. As far as I know, most "hardened" anvils are actually only hard on their work face, the rest of the body is good old soft iron. Edit: It seems that you have discovered this 😂 Carry on!
@@noided4230 Only on newer anvils and a few certain older ones. Old time anvils mostly used a steel plate with iron body. Heat treating 200lb anvil isn't easy today and certainly would be harder 100+ years ago.
@@noided4230 Erm... He literally discovered over the course of the video that what I said was correct 😂 There are lots of reasons why you might want differentially hardened steel parts. Hardened steel is prone to brittle failure when over stressed whereas unhardened metal will usually deform plastically under excessive loads which will usually result in safer and more easily repaired damage. Heat treating and tool steel alloys are more expensive than mild steel/cast iron shipped straight out the door, so you only do it to areas that need it. Hard parts will cause excessive wear on unhardened parts so some components might need a hard spot and a soft spot in order to play nice with other components. I'm sure I could think up more examples but I think I got the point across and I'm tired of typing 🤪 TLDR: Solid steel tools =/= Delicious meat steaks 😉
I’m not sure if this has been said already, but a lot of older anvils only have a plate on the face of the anvil that has been hardened, and the rest is mild or lower carbon steel. Love your vids Matt!
You and Kentucky are the only ones that get the thumbs up from the intro's before I ever watch the rest of the video. #Classic And, yes, the top plate of the anvil gets hardened. like a quarter/half inch. The base is just the cast metal.
13:00 you're correct, hardened vs not is only in reference to the main striking surface (the face), sometimes the step and horn will be, but if the entire anvil was hardened... I can't imagine how loud the ring from hitting it would be, but there's a reason that they get mounted to heavy solid bases, and some will even wrap the anvil base in additional mild steel chains (to kill the ring). Normally a hardened anvils face is a separate chunk on steel (some designs include the horn portion as this piece) that's fixed to the main body, because heating the entire structure would be a nightmare lol
I was wondering if it is even possible to harden an entire anvil that big. It can be heated to uniform temperature but cooling such a large volume leads to case hardening. I read a paper a few years ago that was using some complex physics to focus energy internally so that it can be rapidly heated then immediately self-quench from the surrounding cool material. It's a really hard problem to solve. Fortunately, for the vast majority of use cases it is desirable for a hardened outer surface to rest on a soft underbody.
Ok but can we appreciate how genuinely smart mat is to have figured out that its just the top that is hardened while the rest of us mentally screamed at him for not already knowing that?
@@Scotty916 It was a temporary TH-cam rule that you can’t show certain gun operations like inserting a mag or screwing on a silencer. They were talking strikes and bans and even blocked a Demo Ranch video but it got cleared up.
Just looking at the thumbnail hurts my soul! I love your videos and the content you make so I think I know what’s gonna happen to the poor anvil. I’ve been blacksmithing/Bladesmithing for the past 10 years and it’s been the most fun hobby I’ve ever taken up. But looking forward to the destruction.
Hey Matt, you're right is usually just the top of the anvil that's hardened, it's too give the hammer bounce to cut down the amount of lifting you have to do plus give a more uniform finish.
As a blacksmith I need to point something out. The part of the anvil that is hardened is not the body but the face plate or the striking plate. Lay the anvil on its side with the top plate facing you and you will see a world of difference which you did and glad you put them at an angle. The face plate is welded to the main body of the anvil which can be forged or cast. Beware the ricochet! But as always, entertaining, thanks. Tell your dad happy birthday!
If you watch Off the Ranch, you can tell when Matt films things out of order. His water collection tank, and his new floodlights aren't installed yet. :D
@@DTex.45ACP yep, as soon as i heard him talking about those, i knew it was an older video. I didnt even think about the lights and tank not being like they are now either.
I thought TH-cam eased up on loading mags. Unfortunate that they're being idiots about that. Fun video! Glad you figured out the top is all that's hardened.
Hi Matt, I'm a big fan of your channel. I have an idea for a video. Shoot fully charged capacitors. There are very large high voltage pulse capacitors that can store many thousands of joules of energy. Would certainly be awsome to fire at them with a large caliber. No one has ever seen this on TH-cam before. Best regards Oli
I think only the very top of the anvil is a hardened plate of carbon steel the rest of it is cast-iron like the other one. You cannot harden cast-iron. Glad to see the Mere has not offed you yet. “ Proof of life”. Where is the update on the secret project? We are well past the countdown.
I love the TH-cam mentality that all the viewers have their heads so far up their butts, that we can’t figure out how those suppressors are attached if we don’t see it happen 😂
@@SaltNBattery thank you, by than I believe that I will have grown out of my depression and with Jesus I will never take my own life. Thank you for being concerned and you stay safe too.
Smart theory Matt! You can definitely see the heat signature in the metal and the difference in the final color. Never thought about just heat treating the top, obviously makes sense.
Hardened anvils are the same cast as un-hardened ones but have a hardened steel plate welded onto the top striking surface. So shooting the side will give similar results, you need to lay the anvils over so you can shoot the tops of them.
Hey Matt! Just a spontaneous idea, knowing that you've bent barrels on rifles before and we saw the results, I was just wondering would it would do in the realm of shotguns? I'm curious to see what would happen with bird shot, buckshot, and of course slugs. Would it work 🤔?
I said this on matts other video also but there should be a best intro section at the gundies created especially for demo ranch and we can all vote and watch matts top ten best intros for the past year. And maybe the same thing for his montages.
Matt, very astute of you. Generally it's the top of the anvil that gets hardened, and usually as it is worked. The heat transfers from the metal being worked, and that is how the top of the anvil is usually harder than the sides 😊
A lot of older anvil models were created more brittle out of pig iron which made them much more able to sustain force. Newer models tend to be more tender alloy type materials.
That Magpull PRS stock is the most gorgeous stock you can put on an AR. I’ve been wanting to build a DMR AR10 with that stock and the ERGO tactical palm shelf pistol grip. Great pistol grip and stock combo for a DMR for sure!
Awesome video. The only thing I wish you would have pointed out is the recoil reduction system on the back of the bolt carrier. Pretty awesome way to get rid of the recoil. Keep up the great work.
You can definitely tell which one’s which. When you shoot the hardened one, it just breaks away material because all of that energy has no place to go. When you shoot the unhardened one, it displaces most of the material, leaving a crater instead of a “blind hole” if you will.
Who would have thought, that this all started from putting bullets in a microwave 😆 Matt always finds new ways to deconstruct items using bullets or explosions…..and keep it entertaining 👏👍
Some anvils, especially older ones are a wrought iron body with a hardened steel face. Lower end would have a cast iron body with a hardened face. A lot of newer high end anvils are cast steel with the face hardened. So the bodies are typically softer than the face. As a smith I have to say it! It’s a shame to be punching holes in those anvils.😂
thats what Matt does but it would be fun if he sent one to a smith to be fixed and shoot them again. I liked the test once he shot the tops
So...did it or did it not make any sense to flip them over?
Good entertainment anyway 😁
I came here to say this!
So what about the best anvil in the world? 🤓

Yeah, came here to post this... Surprised nobody else noticed that he cut out loading the mag.
Thanks for bringing out the P.S.L. !!!
Being a blacksmith it's painful to watch you shoot that beautiful anvil, but I'm always here to support the chanel. Keep up the good work.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who felt that pain
You aren't alone...
Ikr. I may only be a Hobbyist but man still stings
I can't find or afford a good one and he is just casually destroying two.
We got us a little support group going here I'm using a home made anvil from bloody c channel
the fact that im going to be a vet when im older and own a ton of guns,makes me look up to this guy so much
Please dont

So many scammers on these comment sections buddy look out

@@SaltNBattery thank you, by than I believe that I will have grown out of my depression and with Jesus I will never take my own life. Thank you for being concerned and you stay safe too.
Its been a sick ride thanks for the pov
More research on the anvils is needed 😂 Love this video!
I thought TH-cam said it was okay to show how to attach a surpressor and how to insert a mag... what did I miss this time?
He Filmed this Video before TH-cam said its ok to show the inserting of a Mag.
Smart theory Matt! You can definitely see the heat signature in the metal and the difference in the final color. Never thought about just heat treating the top, obviously makes sense.
Hardened anvils are the same cast as un-hardened ones but have a hardened steel plate welded onto the top striking surface. So shooting the side will give similar results, you need to lay the anvils over so you can shoot the tops of them.
Hey Matt! Just a spontaneous idea, knowing that you've bent barrels on rifles before and we saw the results, I was just wondering would it would do in the realm of shotguns? I'm curious to see what would happen with bird shot, buckshot, and of course slugs. Would it work 🤔?
Yeah
👆👆👆 Thanks for the feedback.Expect more videos soon..send a direct message..i have a Gift for you!!🎁🎁🎁
Yes do this
Oh Hell yeah. Do it, do it, do it!
I said this on matts other video also but there should be a best intro section at the gundies created especially for demo ranch and we can all vote and watch matts top ten best intros for the past year. And maybe the same thing for his montages.

Love how the .22 looks and sound like matt isn't shooting but adding the gun sound in post lol
Matt, very astute of you. Generally it's the top of the anvil that gets hardened, and usually as it is worked. The heat transfers from the metal being worked, and that is how the top of the anvil is usually harder than the sides 😊
A lot of older anvil models were created more brittle out of pig iron which made them much more able to sustain force. Newer models tend to be more tender alloy type materials.
.243 is very overlooked I'm surprised not more channels use them very fast and accurate
love the subtle increase in caliber between 22lr and 7.62x54r
Great job on the video Matt! Thanks for making it.
That Magpull PRS stock is the most gorgeous stock you can put on an AR. I’ve been wanting to build a DMR AR10 with that stock and the ERGO tactical palm shelf pistol grip. Great pistol grip and stock combo for a DMR for sure!
Hell yeah, you took my advice to use a cleaning rod to measure depth of targets
Glad to see it
Thought you said "emo arms" and I got real excited for a second
Awesome video. The only thing I wish you would have pointed out is the recoil reduction system on the back of the bolt carrier. Pretty awesome way to get rid of the recoil. Keep up the great work.
That .300 win mag is a beast!!! Sheeeeesh
As a Romanian I'm happy to know you have a sniper rifle from us❤
Love the camera guy interactions.
For future tests, grab a file and drag it over the steel. If it bites into it it’s not hardened. If it skates over top it’s hardened.
Yes!!!! Men don’t wear makeup!! I will now watch every video you make forever!!
You can definitely tell which one’s which. When you shoot the hardened one, it just breaks away material because all of that energy has no place to go. When you shoot the unhardened one, it displaces most of the material, leaving a crater instead of a “blind hole” if you will.
Who would have thought, that this all started from putting bullets in a microwave 😆
Matt always finds new ways to deconstruct items using bullets or explosions…..and keep it entertaining 👏👍
