Chuck, I have heard that The Color Case Co. in Ohio has been out of business for several years now, is he back in business?

I've got a good stock guy here as well as another fellow that is a pretty decent general gunsmith .
While I've been told Turnbull's work is second to none after talking with him on the phone a few times , he's not someone I care to do buisness with . Maybe I caught him on 2 or 3 bad days . Dunno , but don't care to find out either . I believe Dale Edmunds was the fellow my stock guy suggested to go over the barrels and fix the small dent .

Dale does great work, and he's a heck of a nice guy.

Also Brad Bachelder who is a member of this board could do the barrels (he has done a couple for me) and he also does very nice case coloring. But remember this had better be a gun you want to keep because it will cost you more then what you will be able to sell the gun for unless it is a high grade gun.

Hence my reason for asking about typical cost for such undertakings .

Craig you are looking at about $300 for the barrels, not sure what the case colors are but a minimum of $550 and up So if it's a gun that means alot to you or your family well maybe otherwise use as is or maybe just get the barrels done, they will really pop.

This being a little circa 1911 Parker GH 16 gauge that has about an inch to 2 inch flat on the side of the left barrel . This gun has also had the barrels cut to 27" where it's now measuring skeet and IC . The action could get by without recasing just thought it might look nice ! The toe is also gone from the buttplate , so I suppose I should have a new buttplate installed . Although it's been gone for many years as the toe has gotten slightyly radiused in the actual stock itself .

I believe John Gillette at Classic guns will charge $220 for case coloring the receiver. You will need to do the polishing down to 400 grit. That's a pretty good deal for someone who is very well known for the case coloring IMO.
