You guys need to check with a blacksmithing board or some one that does this for a living or has done this many times. When I was modifying my Ruger 10/22 Trigger assembly 2 parts had to be annealed (for adding setscrews) and then hardened again. My disconnector was perfect, but the sear edge of the hammer was too soft and I went through 3 hammers until I got it right. You need to use a Oxy/Acet torch to get a part like that hot enough. There is a chemical that is a powder that surface hardens steel parts, but I can’t remember what it is called right now. I’ll look into it, but basically it case hardens the outside of the gear. You heat up to a certain temp and dip it into the powder and allow it to cool. That way the outside of the teeth are hard, but the center of the tooth is softer so it doesn’t shatter.
