I am thinking about having the Dakota 3 position safety and Talley Lever detachable rings color case hardened by Turnbull. My question is that since it is going to be $100 for a few small parts is there anything else you can think of on my 9.3 Brno that could be sent in too?

Terry, can you post the pic of your rifle with the Turnbull treatment again?

Sling swivel bases, bottom metal, grip cap.

If you're not set on Turnbull you may wish to contact Mike Hunter at,
www.hunterrestorations.com

He gave me the best quote and was completely responsive to all my questions.
Looks like he does good work too.

I'm on my way home from Cincinnati. I'll repost the pics when I get there.

Are you planning on leaving the bottom metal stock? I did the BRNO trigger guard on one of mine and it looks very nice.

Terry

For now the bottom metal will stay. Good idea on the trigger guard.

Have you sent anything to him yet? I sent an email for a quote.

I haven't sent him anything yet.
At first I was just lazy and now I'm very busy with work. I decided that Karnis was going to fit my buttplate, grip cap, and sling swivel bases when he refinishes my stock.
Once I get that back from Karnis I'll send the parts to Mike Hunter.

Here are the few things I had case colored on my 21H:

Now if you really want to get classy with it I would suggest you find a Nitre bluer to do a few parts to go with the case color hardening. It would be top shelf! I would do all the screws (action and barrel) and the bolt release spring Nitre. I love the blue contrast it gives.

Hopefully you'll get a few idea's from this.

Here is a pair of Talley's Doug did for another rifle.

Thanks! That looks great

Mike is about $25 cheaper on the CCH

I really like the idea of the Nitride screws. The bad part is it seems like the longer this takes the more expensive it gets! It would have been a hell of a lot cheaper to go with the CZ or Ruger but I don't think I will regret this one at all

Mike quoted me 1/2 the price of Turnbull.
I got quotes ranging from $260 to $75.

His minimum is $75 and he said he could do the small parts for that

Yep, $75 is what he quoted me.
