[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1640266, member: 94491"] there are places that do this for knife makers and other machined metal--but doesn't heat treating an item bring up issues with possible tolerance issues? sometimes when metal is heat treated it's dimensions will change--I would be worried that it might not all go back together correctly with the correct tolerances--I think some of the machining process is done after the heat treat are they not? plus it being on a firearm it brings up liability issues that many would not want to touch. Also, I'm not sure there is a fix, as the article below states that they were over heat treated thus crystallizing the metal, not sure if its possible to fix that. here is an article on risk analysis of springfield receiver failures you might want to read :[URL]http://m1903.com/03rcvrfail/[/URL] you could call one of these companies and ask their opinion [URL='http://pacmet.com/']PacMet[/URL] or [URL='http://www.bmproc.com/']Blanchard's[/URL] [/QUOTE]
