The really nice 'strawing' that we all admire on a nice Luger is not usually the result of someone's home kitchen oven. It is true that one can heat treat parts in a conventional oven but the quality of the finished product is subject to vary if the temperature is not even and well controlled. Trust me, it is hard to get a quality job in a standard kitchen oven. I have seen many 'kitchen gunsmiths' products at gunshows and it is pretty obvious.
