Case Colors

Hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like cold blue with a little bit of heat

To be honest with you Steve, for the right price it looks like it would make a dandy hunting gun with a round or two of clays thrown in.
First and foremost it's a 20ga.,looks to be in decent mechanical shape and did I mention it's a 20? Nuff said.

The barrels would have to be checked to make sure they were not hot blued, but there is a good chance they aren't. In that case it would make a good shooter. Nitre bluing of the frame does no damage. I am 90% sure the frame was nitre blued. I have done it in the past on worn Trojans where the persons I was doing it for wanted their guns to look new. If carefully done the proper way, it looks ok. As the gun wears, it begins to look more like case colors, provided it is done so dark blue is not not the dominant color.

One more point, the colors wear at about the same as case colors. It is not a durable finish.
