1909 Argentine
I recently acquired a 1909 action for a someday project. It the Argy made model, not the DWM. According to the info I have these were made in Argentine Govt plants after WWII. How do these compare quality wise to those made by DWM? The workmanship on this one looks very high quality to me. Thanks.

Some of those haven't heard of heat-treating. You HAVE to check the hardness of the lug recesses.

I do it with scribes and needle files with a best guess attached to 'em.

Lorenzo en mi espa�ol basico [Smile] , si tu accion es DWM no hay problemas si es DGFM ( Direccion General de Fabricaciones Militares ) , pasa una lima en la rampa de alimentacion , una lima que se llamara cola de raton muy finas y casi sin corte , si corta facil no paso el tratamiento termico , si patina y no se clava esta tratada , si tu accion no tiene tratamiento termico , mejor la cambias por otra , pues no se de nadie que lo haga ni en Uruguay ni en Argentina ( Con garantias ) .
