How does 853 respond to rolling dents out?
I'm hoping to close the deal on a dented 853 frame. I'm familiar with using frame blocks to roll dents out of lesser steels, but wasn't sure how air hardened steel responded.

I haven't worked with 853, but if it's like 753, I suspect the answer is "not well." Unless it's a really serious dent, I'd just live with it.
