According to heritage's website it is not case hardened it is simulated. "The Heritage Rough Rider Case Hardened 9-shot small-bore models are similar to our standard alloy offerings but feature a simulated case hardened frame finish for an upgraded appearance." https://heritagemfg.com/small-bore/9-shot-rough-rider/87-6-5-rough-rider-22-lr-simulated-case-hardened-cocobolo ---------------- And it does not meet the melting point laws in MN, as they name Heritage arms specifically as not being compliant. "Prohibited: Ruger Wrangler .22 revolvers, Walther rimfire pistols, Cobra, Phoenix Arms, Heritage Arms, Hi-Point, and GSG rimfire pistols."

Michael, it will not pass the melting point test in MN. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/minnesota_restrictions.pdf

Michael, no Sir it is an Alloy Frame. Heritage does make Steel Frame models : https://heritagemfg.com/small-bore/6-shot-rough-rider/82-4-75-rough-rider-22-lr-22-wmr-steel-frame-black-satin-camo-laminate
