A friend is building a custom .22 rf on a Winder action. He has been told that they cannot be case colored because they have more modern steel than other 1885 'chesters. I say BS! I'd be really interested to hear what some the rest of you think. Joe, I'm thinking you probably know more about this than most.

Just got back from WY after killing three antelope with an original Ballard Pacific. They still work like they used to.
