Title: Case hardening hook and tang breech
Post by: smart dog on July 23, 2008, 06:24:03 AM

Hi Folks,
Is it safe to case harden the breech plug portion of a flint hook and tang breech?  The tang portion will be case hardened after engraving and I would like to harden the hook so it doesn't wear. Is that safe or even desirable?

Hi Jerry,
Thanks.  That is exactly what I will do.
