A little OT, but Krieghoff charges a smooth $4k upcharge for case colored receivers on their K80 clays gun.

What about the Italians? Ive seen Perazzis with cyanide colors and Ive also seen what looks to be bone charcoal colors. Anyone have an idea who does this for them?

You noticed the same things I noticed in the A.A. Brown video. I want to try that larger granulation of charcoal. I would also like to know the wood/bone ratio.

Thanks also for the case hardening link. I thought the wiring of a few of the parts is interesting. It appears to be copper wire. Seems okay to touch parts, and there's good water out of the tap, deceptively easy? Good stuff.

According to an Ithaca Service Manual form the 1980s, the Perazzis which they imported back then were built with heat-treated allow steels, unsuitable for case hardening. They were given a "FAUX" case coloring by chemicals. This involved heating the part to around 200 F & then daubing or striping it with Cold Blue. I'd sure hate to pay $4K for that though. One can do a batch of them, themselves for the price of a bottle of Cold Blue.

Ed, just imagine what the author of that article would have to say about the grotesque psychedelic flame-broiled torch colors that you and old Ed Lander foisted upon uneducated gun buyers. I think he'd most likely vomit on your torched beauties if he ever held one... and that would be an improvement.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

....the vitriolic bile you spew here often approaches a form of perverted poetry... Your link is about appearances. Do you have any expert opinion links discussing the aesthetics of torch applied colors?
