Melonite?
Any information on the melonite finish/treatment. Could one have a 1911 "melonited"? Has any one done that and what were the results. Will the 1075 F degree bath heat cause problems with the metalurgy of the frame and slide?
Seems to me that a tenifer like treatment/finish would be great on a 1911.
I have been unable to find in depth information on the treatment as it applies to firearms. There is at least one firm on the west coast that will do it as well as one gunsmithing shop that will farm out the treatment/coating ( probably to the first company) .
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
