Case Colors

[B. Dudley]

Repros were not actually case hardened originally. But instead stained with something to look like case colors. That is why they wear off so easily.

As this thread represents, the frames take true case colors very well. I have had a numner of reapro frames case colored by turnbull and they all came out great. Just as good as original parkers.

I can not believe how timely this thread is. I can barely stand looking at my 28ga repro, but I intend to go all the way, having the comb, and fore end reshaped more like Meriden than Remington. It will then be finished with a proper linseed oil finish.
