Sorry for the jumbled post

What this should have been------- CAN?? anybody point me to a book on CCH
Just as Angiers is the definitive work on bluing, there must be something that stands out when dealing with CCH

Dr Oscar Gaddy (who resurrected the art of color case hardening for us novices)wrote a series of articles on Color Case Hardening. They are available from the Double Gun Journal and are supplemented by post to Double Gun.com and are available in the archives.

While the CCH process is interesting from a intellectual standpoint, its proper execution is not something for the garage gunsmith to toy with (even though such hobbyist diversions are now popular). Beyond the fact that 95% of all CCH renew efforts are attempted for "cosmetics" alone, a great many pros are not comfortable in having it done to any classic double. I won't name names, but they are not unknown.

In fact, ALL the top name UK makers send their CCH work out to long-trusted workmen. Along with blacking.

And there are good reasons for them to do so.

KR,
I gotta disagree on this one. I think as many hobbyists as desire should toy with such a process. Gunsmiths are typically not specialists in most of the areas they work. In fact, most are specialists in only one of the many skills needed to be a gunsmith. A hobbyist has a huge advantage in the time dedication he can put into learning a process that a pro just can't afford, since he is busy trying to make a living. Oscar Gaddy was such a "hobbyist". Some other names you'd recognize from here were once hobbyists and now pro's, some of them top shelf.

Should a beginner start with an irreplaceable gun? No. There are plenty of chunks of steel around as well as dead doubles.

Chuck:
Each to his own. But ANY decent double that has been re-cased is immediately off my consideration list. And not just for the refreshed colours. I've seen far too many cooked to the point of brittleness... even by shops which should know better. I can only imagine the first dozen results by a rank amateur.
I've also spent a good deal of my life -- and far too much time -- reversing the starry-eyed efforts of hobbyists. The metallurgical destruction of a fine double's key bits makes me cringe.

But as always, your words ring with wisdom regarding "chunks of steel" doubles. I respect your perspective.
