[TowerTalk] Chrome-moly mast question

[kr7x at comcast.net]

Bill:
The easiest way, if you bought it from a supplier is ask for a copy of the mill certification for the component. Sometimes the tubing is stamped or stenciled with the alloy demarcation on it. 

If none of the above apply then you have to take the word of whomever you purchased it from.
