    Turnaround time and price please. I have a couple of frizens that are totally crap for sparking but I can only give up one at a time.

    I always let down the tails to blue after doing the frizzens particularly if I don't know what the metal is. Old frizzens will probably be wrought iron and will not harden, however modern frizzens such as the ones made by the Rifle Shoppe are often made of cast EN8 which will harden to some extent if heated and quenched. The frizzen hinge and tail does take considerable shock loading so by tempering this to blue will remove any possible brittleness.
    I use Kasenit for hardening frizzens which has no cyanide risk.

      Yes all you say is good practice..
      I usually use an ultrasonic bath..
      However, please understand my videos are for entertainment, and by no means for online education..
      The liability involved in teaching people with unknown skill sets is a huge law suit risk..
      I do not show all the steps of a process, for safety and liability considerations 👍

      Don’t give up hope it’s game season so shotgun repairs are all the rage, and haven’t got the workflow right to edit and publish all the videos I’ve made so at some point there will be a whole load of them LOL

      DO MOT TRY THIS IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED !!
      Use the traditional method without cyanide.
      Break up meat bones and old scraps of leather with a small amount of crushed charcoal, pack into a metal can, with a close fitting metal lid. Pierce a small hole in the can, and place into a fire for about half an hour. Then quench in a large container of cold water. CAUTION There will be an explosive amount of steam.. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME if not a trained engineer!!
