What Hugh Lomas says about post-annealing of the TIG welded HAZ of the sleeving joint is very interesting and raises several new questions. Foremost would be my assumption that heat relieving or post annealing above the upper critical limit would be at a temperature that might also melt the brazing used to join the barrel breech sections and underlugs of the monobloc. In that event, any post annealing would have to be very localized to prevent melting the braze joints.
