[QUOTE="zupatun, post: 485648, member: 3533"] I use heating duct wrapped in insulation. Hang from ceiling or place on floor. I hang the action from wires threaded through the action onto eye-hooks inside the duct (I think I use 8" dia duct). I use a thermocouple inside the action or barrel to measure the temperature of the steel as it's heating. I use a simple heat gun I bought from Home Depot. I put covers on each end and cut a hole in one end for the heat gun and a small exhaust on the exit side. I use baffles to make sure I'm indirectly heating the action--so the gun exhause isn't impinging on the action or barrel directly. I control the temperature by varying the amount of makup air and exhaust--only vary roughly and I can turn it off on occaision to control temperature...and keep an eye on everything. Don't have a pic as I'm at work, but that's my setup... Matt [/QUOTE]
