I just wondered why you were interested in heat treating the action? Is there some problem? Generally mauser 98 actions aer considered strong enough for any modern caliber and the main strength differences between the earlier actions and the 98 were design changes rather than material or manufacturing deficiences. That is the 93-9 actions don't handle escaping gas well and so are deemed not as well suite to higher pressure cartridges.. The only actions I've ever heard any hardness problems with were the 1909 Argentines. I have heard that some had sodft receivers and would 'print' the locking lugs with modern ammo... I must add though that I've never SEEN this problem.. I have seen actions ruined by high pressure rounds that printed the locking lugs but these were usually in actions that were sporters made in Germany and all had claw mount bases sweated to the front ring.. I always guessed the heat from the soldering process softened the case enough to allow the damage or just some idiot used overloaded ammo.. Guess I'm just curious - Why?,,

I am not a "Smith" and my knowledge very limited on this subject, I have researched it on the internet, and talked with my smith. He has a very unofficial way of testing, he takes a scribe and if he can put a mark on the locking lug by hand its a little soft. Some of the Mausers manufactured in the 40's benefitted from the correct heat treatment. Some manufactured around the turn of the century (1900), got the correct heat treatment, some did not.
 
I just do not want to take a chance after I have spent all that money and work, for something to go south, and then there is all my work, money, and possibly and injury to boot, I figure it is cheap insurance. Mr. Sterling said they have done a couple of thousand, there seem to be some others that feel that way to, blame it on my anal retentiveness I guess
