Between my nephew-in-law and me, we have three German military Mauser 98k actions (made 1937) effectively converted into nice sporting rifles, plus one Browning Safari bolt action. Other than springs, and I include claw extractors as springs, are there parts that cannot be safely nitrided?

I am not asking for a "Why do you want to do it?" response. I just want to be informed of safety issues, including heat treat problems resulting from the nitriding of any particular part and parts likely to suffer warpage.
