Apples and Oranges. If one can get beyond the ghastly faux case colors, and the shape of the nose of the fore end, then consider the age difference of the wood, and the compression of the screws retaining the latch, which can be corrected. I just can't get beyond the failure to understand proper original checkering.

They certainly don't look exactly like original ccc, but are they the result of some fake, chemical coloring process unassociated with casehardening? Trying to further my knowledge of repros, not pick a fight. Thanks, SRH |

Yes Stan, they are chemically stained colors and wear off VERY quickly under normal use.

I have had very good luck holding the colors by applying a very very thin coat of Tru Oil every so oftten.

My RBL also has the modern chemical coloring. Shortly after I got the gun (Which I really like, BTW) a bit (1/8") of the coloring flaked of from the top of the receiver where the top lever entered. CSM rapidly took the gun back and fixed the issue

Thank you for the reply, Dean.
This "new" information changes everything, IMO. |

But some Repro owners have sent their Repros to people like Bachelder and Turnbull to be correctly color case hardened in the “bone & charcoal” method… not that these frames need to be hardened at all. In fact the Repro frames are harder than original Parkers were/are. .
