Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Hard Chroming - Looking for Some Advice

Yeah, looks good. I've not used Ford's, but hear good stuff about them.

That's a unique design. I never could warm up to it. I hear it gets pretty hot with lots of shooting.

They seem well made, I know they're not cheap.

As I see it, its half dozen of one or six of the other when it comes to Coogans and Fords. Thanks guys, I apprecite your advice!

My five shot 45 Colt was done by Mahovsky's. No issues.

I'd forgotten about Mahovskys. I had them Metalife hard chrome an abused M-70 I had JES rebore. Considering how rough it was, it turned out nice. They also engraved the caliber for me. IIRC they were much more economical than Fords.

I like that gun and the .358 Win round. JES did one for me and it’s a shooter.

Fav load is the 178 Shock Hammer over RL-7.

That rifle was a Covid project, if it were left handed it would be my favorite. I've only put 5 rounds through it so far, Hornady 200gr factory loads. Sighted it in with 4 and put the 5th through an 8 point buck. I've taken more deer with the .358 than any other, mostly in a Savage 99.

What’s your fav m-99 .358 Win load?
