Is the question now whether or not the frame would warp during the process or is the question whether the type/hardness of steel utilized by Miroku causes a problem completing the process? Just curious as John certainly didn't indicate there was a problem (with the exception of doing the lever). Think I'll give Doug Turnbull's folks a call next week. FWIW, I did send them a request for information related to this same topic last week and never received a reply.
PS. Looks like there is a debate whether the Winchester/Browning low walls have SAE 4140 (not recommended for case coloring or SAE 8620 (no problem). Looks like more research is required.
