I am in the process of rebuilding a rolling block and need the hammer and breech block pins heat treated. I made them out of oil hardening drill rod.
I need to find someone that can do the treatment, I don't think they have to be real hard as the originals are really soft. I can send one of the originals for comparing if necessary.

Rolland,
You might try Pacific Metaurlical Inc. They are in Kent WA. Ph. 253-854-4241 www.pacmet.com

I have not used them yet, but have heard good reports about them.

I spoke to Jim there a few days ago and was impressed.They do aerospace & Military stuff. Good prices = 100.00 to heat treat two mauser 98 actions & bolts, With about one week turn around.

Good luck Allen

PS let us know who you use and how it went.

You can do that yourself with a oxyacetylene (or similar) torch.

Simply heat them to a cherry red and quench in oil. Then lightly polish them and heat very slowly until they turn blue and quench them again to temper them and you're off and running.

You could try John at www.classicgunsinc.com , he does excellent hardening work for very reasonable rates.
