[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1640282, member: 60453"] You could send it to one of the custom gun makers and have them test it for hardness and temper. They might be able to re-harden it, but the cost would be pretty high. Bula armory might be able to do it, too. But I'd just get a metallurgist from one of the state colleges to test it and if it tests good, use it. A good mechanical engineering department should be able to test hardness easily and accurately. You might check with Fulton Armory or the CMP, also. They'll do a technical inspection of the firearm and determine if it is safe to use. I just looked at the Fulton Armory site. They charge 75 dollars plus shipping, The CMP site also works on M1903 rifles. Their phone number is as follows: 256-835-8455,and their gunshop's website is: [email]customshop@thecmp.org[/email].
