I have just replaced the cocking slider on my A Fox. The replace-
ment part was a new "old" stock replacement requiring minimal
fitting--deepened side grooves by 0.005 inch each.

Does anyone know of a Portland, OR person/shop that can case
harden this part?

Thanks for your help.

No I don't but I doubt the original slider was case hardened- just high carbon steel. I have never seen original that looks like it was cased. Why do you want to case it?

Dogfox,

The original part from my 1908 A grade was hardened--a mill file
will barely scratch the surface. The new part (an original white
metal Fox part) is relatively soft and metal removal with a jew-
ler's file was very easy. Since this part is subjected to high
forces during the cocking process I thought it would be wise to
harden it to minimize wear.

Thanks for your input

You can case harden it yourself with Kasenit, available from Brownell's.
