Ed I do not remember a single tbread anywhere here or on any other double gun forums about a member having a bad experience with bone charcoal case hardening. None. And, since you have been selling doubles for many years you know we are a whiney lot. We gripe about everything.
Still, not a single negative post.
We whine about slow shipping guns, bad communications, average wood to metal fit on Galazan's RBLs, heavy trigger pulls on new Ruger Gold labels, gunsmiths that don't give us fast turn around, UPS, USPS, FedEx, bad customer service. We whine about shipping costs, poor packaging, snooty receiving FFLs.
Still not a single negative post from a member that has had a bad experience with bone charcoal case hardening.
Now I know if I take my 1905 Parker VHE to Homer's Liquor Store, Body Shop, and Gunsmithing and ask him to bone charcoal case harden it he can get on the internet and find someone somewhere that will give him some directions. What I get might strongly resemble what you are describing.
But still, not one single thread about "I got my gun case hardened and it burst into little pieces and put both my eyes out and killed my goat."
Not one.
Best,
Mike
