The only things that I've hardened on my receivers were the pivot holes and the inside rails, so I imagine you can harden the receivers at any point prior to putting a finish on it and bringing it to the range. I would do the inside rails prior to spot welding them on though, just to simplify things.

Ok, thanks. I guess I'll harden the rails and holes, and then harden the upper rails after I weld the lower rails in.

A MAPP torch. Get the spots you want to treat red hot, then douse in water ( heat and douse one spot at a time). Then sand the blue color off each spot, heat each spot just until it turns blue agian, but before red. then let air-dry. If you get the red, redo the sanding and low-temp heat. You sand the metal so you can see when it turns blue again. Takes all of about 5 minutes.
