Yes
It would be interesting to know who did the case hardening; that is some serious movement.
I had a Wincester 1886 that came into the shop, owner claimed that his gunsmith sent it out to have CCH by someone who "specializes" in CCH. and when he got it back couldn't get it back together.
Sent it to me to fix.. I could immediately tell that the frame had been quenched at too high a temp in a brine solution (colors told it all). Frame was badly warped, I annealed the frame, then about 5 hours of work to get it straight, and re-Case harden.
The owner spent quite a few dollars
