    It appears that it is annealed. Is that what I want?

    There is a big difference in strength between the “A” and the “N” conditions. You can bring the annealed to a normalized state by heat treating & quenching. I am not sure what Kitfox specifies & uses for these pieces. Condition N is the standard for most 4130 used on aircraft.
