king: good advise... as for foxes in particular, i am reminded of a c grade i saw years ago. it was a beautiful gun, exhibiting a complete professional refinish, including wonderful bone charcoal case colors...however, upon close inspection of the receiver, i noticed a hairline crack in the metal at its weakest point, which was at the origin of the 90 degree angle where the water table meets the angle of the breech...that, and some other fine guns that i have seen that have been ruined by rehardening the receiver is what turned me off on the idea of rehardened any shotgun receiver, regardless of the method utilized.
