[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 849182, member: 5655"] These are good points and hopefully some of the 'smiths here will have some input. As I understand it, case hardening has been around for centuries as a way to put a hardness on the surface of otherwise soft steel. I'm no expert but I don't see it distorting the overall receiver itself. It looks like I'm going to end up with a couple of extra receivers as I have a lead on a "project" gun of the same type as mine and it has a spare receiver that could be sacrificed in the name of research. ;-) This is a Stevens 311 shotgun and the project one I'm looking at has the Sears' house brand receiver as a spare in addition to the actual Stevens unit.
