@ben150785 only if you are working with hypereutectoid steels above critical temp around1200-1500 F. if they are water quench steels 180 F water is recommended. salts can be used to make a brine which dispenses heat more regularly, reducing diffenential heat removal causing imbalances in the crystaline structure. it also reduces the rate of heat removal which reduces the amount of microscopic stress fracturing. ( hence the need for tempering) even heat no warping either. good day. =)
@Hemi, Hemi, My best guess is that it's an Egyptian Hakim rifle. Not even close to a BAR. At first I thought it looked most like an SVT-38/40, but it is lacking the steel ventilated shroud in the front that covers the gas block and barrel forward of the handguard fore end. Compare this with the Egyptian Hakim.
Notice the circular metal on the side of the buttstock, the lightening cut on the handguard, the protrusion on the receiver cover, etc.
It's an Egyptian "Hakim", gas operated, semi-auto, 7.92x57mm, using a 10rd detachable box magazine. (Can also be loaded with stripper clips.) Weighs about 10lbs.
Basically, a 1950 to 60's era, license built copy of the Swedish, 6.5mm Ljungman AG-42 rifle. Major difference being the muzzle brake, required for the heavier 7.92mm cartridge.
Good rifles, well made, imported to the US in small numbers in the mid-1980's, but available at fairly low prices due to lack of popularity.
I thought dropping it straight into water caused cracking?

will this work on a gun that was heat treated but not to good standards (early 1903 springfield) so i can shoot it
