I'm with Jim on this one. When those guns reached the temp in which the grips went away, then the hardening also left the metal.. And Mac, 200 degrees celcius is crazy hot, wood will burn at alot less. If even the springs are still there, those pistols still maybe dangerous to shoot due to the pressure's of the .357. I've seen a few "burnt" pistols restored and fired, and they seemed fine for awhile then cracks started to appear here and there,and etc, then they were retired.
