I have made a gun lock plate for an Alex Henry percussion target rifle. It's Damascus from Kevin Cashen. I've misplaced the sheet that came with it, but I remember it's forged from O1 and another metal.
I need to harden and temper it for wear, as the tumbler hole often wears egg shaped from the spring tension of the main spring. Then I need to color it to bring out the Damascus pattern. I have only an oxy/acetyl torch and kitchen range to do this.
What advice can you offer?
