ld1: colorin rifle receivers, pistol frames and shotgun receivers aint the same thing. what works for one does not necessarily work for the others...i am happy for you that you have had high heat bone charcoal work done and have had no problems. however, that aint necessarily so in many other instances. one that comes to mind is a parker dhe receiver that i saw years ago. it looked really nice, except for the hair line crack at the right angle of the receiver face where it met the water table. according to old ed, this crack occured upon firing of the gun and was probably caused by heating the receiver to a high temperature and then not tempering the metal back enough to provide some elasticity... it really looked nice though. too bad the gun was no longer a safe shooter... ed1
