Have two prized Ruger Red Labels and a S&W 645 go up in smoke. Not really sure if they will be replaced by the insurance co. Forearms burnt up in the fire but the butstocks remained, a little charred though. The 645 is still in holster, missing the alluminum backstrap. I assume that it melted. Otherwise they look like they could be fixable. Any idea at which the stainless in the actions of the Rugers or the Stainless 645 would become ruined. The fire does not appear to have melted the stainless or the barrels of the shotguns. I had heard before of 750 degree embrittlement of steel. It think that is the point it can go to . Any ideas if I could rebuild and re-heat treat the guns ???????
