I thought it was what Obama's staff did before every speech?

It's like hot-boxing, but without the attendee's consent.
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

Re: stoning?
Back on topic: It's usually used to smooth out trigger sear surfaces. Just be careful with cast and MIM parts - they tend to have a hard, thin surface, and a squishy interior.
Kinda like some politicians. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Re: stoning?
That can be the case with any case-hardened / carburized part regardless of whether cast, MIM, or wrought material. The heat treating process in case hardening involves heating and soaking the part in a carbon-rich environment (either gaseous or salt) in order to create a layer of high carbon steel on the surface of a lower carbon steel. Carbon content causes hardenability and the longer they soak the part, the deeper (to a point) the carbon goes. Then when the part is quenched and tempered, the high carbon surface gets hard while the core stays ductile and tough, relatively speaking, depending on what the base steel is. Taking off .001 or .002" of material by stoning would be more than necessary to smooth up a surface (unless it's really ugly to begin with) and unlikely to go through the case of a properly cased part although it's not hard to go too deep on a thinly cased part if you're rounding off corners.Frankingun wrote:Back on topic: It's usually used to smooth out trigger sear surfaces.
