Ah, the crowd turns ugly. I predict in one year Ed will be our hero and we will spit on the likes of Turnbull.


How much longer before our site mascot is Rosie O'Donnel?

Who is Rosie O'Donnel?

Care to wager? I'll bet not.

It has been a while that the BC redo crowd has been at it. The results, including the single gun I had done (Turnbull) have been better than pretty good.

Ed Lander's work is uniformly crap, from any angle.

So it goes.
Best,
Ted

Any firearm being re-color cased Should be annealed first. Many of those in the trade don't do this step as it ups the cost. By annealing the parts, the metal/stresses are relaxed slowly. The way John Gillette does it(slow annealing), the parts never seem to move and the newly color cased parts fit back together nicely. Classic Guns has done my work for the last eight years without one warped piece.During this period of time. I have averaged sending John approx. 45-65 pieces a year from which I base my opinion. Guess it depends on who actually does the work. Classic doesn't run a large number of action through at the same time in order to save on heating cost. John only cases a few similar sized frames at a time & watches them carefully. Doug Mann and Glenn Fewless has been to Johns shop and can testify to the care he takes with the work. FWIW, Ken

Gunbroker auction #74276603, opinions....

Just trying to add a little spice, lol.

O.K. I will fall for it first and state my opinion. Mind you I am less than a year old to appreciating/knowing CCH so I may fail this test although I think I can recognize good bone charcoal like Turnbull's and very bad chemical/torch/whatever like Ed's.

I find it interesting that different parts/surfaces exhibit different appearances, good chemical torch on some(?), cyanide appearing in other areas, and color case on still others.

So in order I say probably color case, maybe cyanide, and would be very surprised (or amazed)if it were torch.

Did I pass?

Whatever it is it looks nice.

But I like this a whole lot better!!!!!!!!!!!

O.K., after remembering what good bone charcoal color case can look like I am revising my opinion on the gunbroker gun to cyanide.

I think if I were having a gun made for me bone charcoal is the ONLY way to go!!!!!!!!!!
