I?m wondering what the cost would be to do it yourself. Turnbull?s prices are reasonable IMO. One of the guys that used to work for him is on his own so that?s an option for the CCH. I guess I should say he was in business a few years back when I had a Savage 99 lever color case hardened.
As much as I like the finish it fades over time. Which is accelerated w/ exposure to direct sunlight. It looks great but fading over time is a big minus. Especially when it?s the entire frame.
