[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2556422, member: 24284"] Remington actions are [I][B]not [/B][/I]heat treated (for hardness) after they are machined. They are machined from pre-heat treated material. Machining may allow for deflection if the material is not properly stress relieved. If an action, like most bolt actions, was heat treated for hardness after it was machined, it would twist itself out of shape when quenched. Any part that has as many thin sections as a bolt action receiver has, would not survive to a useful state. Am I bedding that Salvage? I don't do [I]any[/I] work on Salvage arms, except the occasional Model 99. I machine a lot of 4140 (yes, on CNC) and it is all PH from the mill.
