[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 803232, member: 22069"] Thanks, shortgrass, for commenting on this. I had hoped that I would hear from you. My smith said the same thing you did about getting a second opinion. He was using a tester designed not to leave marks and felt that I should take the receiver to a machine shop to have it hardness tested with more accurate equipment. So, it seems that would be the wisest first step. From there, assuming that the receiver tests soft, I am reassured to know that Blanchard's will know how to proceed. I have no illusions about the value of the receiver to anyone but me. I just want to make sure it is a safe basis for a classic rifle. I would like to build a 338-06AI on the action, but that remains to be seen... [/QUOTE]
