If you have the whole thing off couldn't you just place it in your
oven at say 400 deg?

When trying to transfer heat like that I've used solder before.
Depending on the solder you know you would be at 600 to 700 deg.
Usually those kinda of temps are used for tempering more so than
hardening from my understanding, which isn't much on that subject

I couldn't get your link to work but I found this with a general
search:

The link apparently got busted by word wrap. If you splice it together
it works fine.

Might help some others visualize your dilemma. I'm guessing it is item
26 on the exploded view page.

That's the critter.

Oh and its an interesting gun. Wouldn't mind shooting it a few times
;-)

Shooting "free pistol" is a whole different game from any other sort of
pistol shooting. The "free" is because it is relatively free of
restrictions. Typical trigger pulls run about an ounce. The grip is
set up so that it hangs onto you as much as vice versa. The bore is
very low, so the recoil is very staight back into your hand, with very
little muzzle flip. Matches are 60 shots at 50 meters over 2 hours.
The target is the same one they used when the modern Olympics got going
in the late 1800's. No one has ever fired a perfect score.

Unfortunately, they are threatening to remove it from the Olympics,
which would be a real shame. Spectating is like watching paint dry
unless you are really into subtleties, so it isn't telegenic enough for
the modern short attention span of TV audiences.
