Seems like a good time to show the color case hardening process. This one runs longer than the usual 15 minutes or less I try to hold these videos to, but there’s a lot of info to cover and we really just scratched the surface.

Good timing indeed, Mark! Very pleasing to see a young man learning the art of color case hardening. Some very spectacular colors in those receivers, hope to see the guns some of them become someday.

Thanks Mike.
That 1895 flatside receiver is serial number 143 and was a pitted and reblued rat when I got it. It’s in the process of a rather extensive face lift. The barrel is next in the que for rust blue, the bolt is up for charcoal blue, nitre on the extractor and freshened up stocks in the works. Of course, my personal projects have to get worked in between paying customer’s projects, so it’ll be a while yet before it’s finished up.
I’m filming the whole process, so keep an eye out for it. Mark

Mark – I greatly enjoyed the video. I’m very eager to see the finished flatside ’95!

Mark,
Another great video, and especially on CCH. I met and spoke with Kieth years ago at Ballard, and liked his demeanor and approach back then, as a very knowledgeable, yet not over whelming type of guy. I’ve watched some of you’re other introductory CCH, videos, and I like where you’re heading with the progress. Always very informative. Keep up the great work and Thanks for posting!

Keith’s a modern-day masters of the craft. I count myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to be working with him. I thought it appropriate to show the man behind the development of our CCH. Mark

Mike. You’re right. It’s great to have a dedicated young man like Josh in our shop. While he’s still a young fellow, he’s been doing the CCH here for eight years now. Since we case harden an average of three days a week, he’s likely one of the most experienced at color case hardening in the business. I’m hoping he sticks around for a long time. Mark

I really like this one. I love videos that show technical details. I do wonder what that Nightforce scope box is doing in your shop?
Quite a few years ago I had the chance to see a brand new, antique, Model 1894. It sold for $75,000 and then resold for more. You could see the polishing marks on the receiver. This one was polished in 4 quadrants each a different direction.
Thanks Mark
