I am working on a little side project- I am tinkering around on a single shot shotgun. I am wanting the receiver to be "in the white," polished and smooth.
It has what I believe to be a true (not painted on) case hardened finish. Is there anything that would prevent me from using normal metal prep procedures to bring this to being in the white? IE, am I affecting the strength of the metal by removing the finish?
Normally, I would send this kind of work out to experts, but this is just a $25 gun I am trying some different things out on. Thanks.
