Thought you might strip the nickel.

from what I have read that is quite a chore, and we might not like what we find underneath

Yeah who knows. Fine as is.

But stripping Ni isn't so bad with one of the mixes.

Will stay tuned. Earlier this week I read a long forum debate re: how fire damage softens steel and how to re-temper the metal.

been involved in that debate more times than I can count....the true story is modern guns are not heat treated the way they were in the old days, modern gun steel gets most of its strength from the alloy used.
Until the mid '20's we didn't have what we call "modern gun steel" so the guns had to be hardened (and then tempered), now days I don't think any guns are hardened beyond original forging of the steel used for the construction of the gun
