Noting like being insulated by a stranger who does not have a clue what he is talking about.

Fact, not a liberal........

Fact rifle actions are heat treated for specific properties such as strength and durability. The heat treatment temperature are specific to the alloy.

Fact, the nitride process is a newer form of case hardening. The the high heats involved changes the manufacturers' heat treatment of the bolt and action. It can create a much harder core that originally intended my the manufacturer. It depends on the steel used it make it in the first place. If you do have a failure, say due to a bad reload, a brittle action can grenade and kill you. A a brittle bolt can shed it's lugs and kill you.

Check with the original manufacturer before you do this. That is all I am saying. This is not some obscure theory I pulled out of my ass. It is basic knowledge that anyone worthy of the title "gunsmith" should know.
