Ok here goes at what I do. I have a steel pan for sheetrock mud that i use to hold the Kasenit in. I clamp my receiver with a pair of channel locks and put that in a vise. I then heat up the entire receiver with Mapp gas tourch until red hot. Then with a leather glove on, I grab the channel locks and put the receiver in the pan of Kasenit and cover it from head to toe. I then remove and quench in either oil or just cold water. Heat it all up again to a dull red and let cool down on its own. Works for me. And you can deffintely tell that the receiver shell is harder, more durable. Kasenit does surface hardening, which is plenty for an ak receiver. Brownells Catalog #57 page 170 item # 479-001-100 Used to obtain a super hard surface on low carbon steel. $9.00 for a 1lb. can.
