[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 803108, member: 24284"] Get a second opinion/test on the hardness of what you have. 40c is quite hard for case hardened low cabon steel, 35c +- is more realistic, IMO. Blanchard Metal has re-heat treated many Mauser '98 actions. They know how to do it, what hardness is achievable, and how to keep it from warping (to extremes). Mausers make fine classic rifles. Having the receiver re-heat treated will not increase its value to anyone but you. [/QUOTE]
