Jim,
Funny you mention this.
Heat treating came up the other day in a 229 design discussion.
If you (or anyone else) knows more about this process.
Please share!
I have the vaguest understanding.
I'm especially interested in "home" heat treating. I think it is possible to temper a shaft using only a torch and a coffee can of oil. Is this true?
