All, It has been several years since I have had any case color work done. In the past I have used Ohio Case Color but he is no longer doing work. Any recommendations for a Ithaca NID 16 ga. Thanks

Shiloh Sharps in Big Timber, Montana, do a magnificent job. They do both Bone/Charcoal and Cyanide dipping. A friend sent his Sharps Borchardt there for a Bone/Charcoal finish. It's not cheap, but I've never seen better. The action and parts had been finished polished and engraved so there was no preparation work for Shiloh to do. Cost around $400.00. They have a website with contact Emails and Phone. Ask for Lucinder, she'll give you a quote.
If your action has been previously CC hardened, it will require anealing first. This is a simple process but has to be carried out in an 'Inert'atmosphere' so no scaling is produced on the surface of the metal.
There are several other firms that do this work, some perhaps cheaper than others, but, anyone who buys on price alone is a salesmans lawful prey.

Even if no one ever re-cased a receiver again, forever 'n ever, it would not make torching one acceptable.
Does Gillette do cyanide colors, too?

I'm thinking about having a gun redone. Has anyone had problems after having a gun redone? Sorry, but the post above makes me a bit nervous now.

Brad Bachelder in Grand Rapids, MI. He does bone and charcoal as well if not better than anyone else right now and his prices and tuen around are reasonable. He case colored my 28 ga Parker repro and the result was coloration very similar to original Parker colors. Most recently he restored a Grade 5 LCS and the colors are perfect. I have seen a lot of Parkers, Smiths, Lefevers and English guns he has re-cased and the work is consistently outstanding.
Around the steel no tortured worm shall twine.

Harry,
Is Shilo Sharps affiliated with C. Sharps Arms in Big Timber? I have a A.H. Fox action that was color case hardened by them recently.
