[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2779837, member: 124360"] If they're nitrided, I'm gonna hazzard a guess they're not heat treated. I'm not sure what alot of modern actions are made of, but the old ones like the rem 700s were chrome-molybdenum steel in the annealed (non- heat treated state) There are modern steels out there now that have better tensile strength without having to be heat treated. Because of the way heat treating chrom-moly distorts and ruins the surface finish, it has to be machined and finished after. There are steels that do keep dimensional tolerances through heat treating but it would still ruin the finish [/QUOTE]
