    heating parts for oil quenching

    I did not not heat the parts too long and when dropped into the oil there was alot of smoke.

    The ejector housing and loading lever block were low grade steel.

    Also tried the same thing on a M1icon rifle gas trap front sight that I made and the oil quenching also worked out quite well and appears to last for years
