Case hardening

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, calling all experienced ones,
I have been playing around with a CR600W CO2 rifle. One thing I am tempted to do is make a new hammer. I have no experience, but am I right in thinking it would need to be case hardened where it stirkes, and where the sear latch engages it?

Are there any home recipes/techniques I can try?

Or any tips on stopping hammer bounce? Have a lathe, can turn.
