What’s your opinion on having a receiver (1886) case colored vs traditional blueing?
I'm a huge fan of Case Coloring.
Now, I love the old Original Case Hardening on a good old Honest Gun, and Yes Turnbull is one of the Best, and there are other choices, that do a fine job also.
my point is to do your homework, because no two Case Color jobs are alike, and there are several different hugh's, and styles, if you will in the finish product, when their done!
Example: Go online and look at several modern day reproduction Rifles, like the Taylor, the Uberti, and Cimmeron, to name a few, and Compare them to the older style of Case Color Hardening, and Maybe you can determine what your looking for, besides just a case Colorer! Just a thought, because their is an Art to it!
