In my opinion, it would be foolish to spend another dime on this gun. Any annealing will soften it, but it will erase any 'memory'. Annealing it would only soften it so that it could be mechanically manipulated, and that's a total black hole. I say this because I spent over 30 years making steel, then heat treating it. If a casting warped in heat treat, it was always possible to anneal, straighten, and re-heat treat. All luxuries I may have had are lost once a part is finish machined.
