Mr. Hammer - the issue I see is that if you T&T before Nitride of receiver, you will have you have the potential for "movement."Quote:

So, would it be possible to
1) stress relieve
2) T&T
3) Nitride
or
1) Nitride
2) T&T
3) ??Re-Nitride??
someone suggested none of this is "needed"
but
it seems "useful."
Have you done both T&T and Nitride on receivers and bolt lugs or all 3 of the above?
and
with what results?
thanks
