| could I fully heat treat an oow receiver by putting it in my oven for an hour or so at 500 degrees......just thinking outloud |

There are guides to heat treating but I can't pull them up at work. For pin axis holes and trunnion rivet holes the areas can be done with mapp gas. The areas need to be heated far above the 500 degrees your oven reaches to heat treat the area. If you had an oven that got hot enough to heat treat the receiver you would probably warp it unless you have the proper knowledge and equipment to do it right. www.surplusrifle.com/shooting2005/souptonuts2/pdf/souptonuts2.pdf www.gunco.net/forums/showthread.php?t=892&goto=nextoldest www.akfiles.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7660&postcount=1 www.gunsnet.net/forums/showthread.php?t=276457 www.gunsnet.net/forums/showthread.php?t=278433 |
