...i have little specific knowledge of case hardening or case coloring.....if enhancement increases the value of a gun and makes it more sellable at a higher price...great!
In summary, shotgun receivers should never be rehardened in the vain interest of restoring the cosmetic effect of case colors.
...unless
you are trying to re-sell them??
If you think "enhancements" that increase value are good for sales, why do you then go on to condemn re-color case hardening in "vain interest of restoring the cosmetic effect of case colors"?
Lets say you purchased a used Parker shotgun and the receiver has been blued by some idiot. You would rather take that action, polish it in a hardened state, and then add imitation case colors with a low heat chemical process that is nothing like what the factory ever produced just to re-sell it at an "enhanced" value? That would be like installing a Pleather covered recoil pad and calling it Leather.
If you admit to having little knowledge of case hardening and case coloring subjects why are you constantly chiming in on these threads?
