What’s your opinion on having a receiver (1886) case colored vs traditional blueing?
The Case Coloring is a Steel Hardening process, and serves dual purpose, if you will, besides looking nice! Different tastes! Both are nice, it all depends on what your after. The case Color look does wear down over time, with handling, time, and exposure to UV Rays, sunlight! I own, and Have Both, and Like Both! Get what you want! Good Hunting
