I agree with you Bill. I have only read and heard from experts on the subject that Parker Bros. color case hardened their shotguns using the bone charcoal method.
However, Remington while they owned the Parker Gun Works at the facility in Meriden, may have been using the cyanide process on the lower grades. This, if it happened, might support DelGrego’s claim.
