LET'S SEE YOUR CCH DOUBLES!

Hey guys, as some of you know I have a Verney-Caron on order in CCH. Most of the rifles I see nowadays have a coin finish, so I sure would like to see of of your color case hardened doubles from difference makers and especially if you have a VC. thanks! jorge

Hey Jorge,

Never knew you went with color case hardened for your Verney-Carron - should be beautiful.

I'm looking forward to this thread and the photos people post of their doubles.

I did not think the VC guns used--bone and Char type CCH. I was told at one time that the steel they used in their actions did not color case well--thats whey most guns were French Gray or Coin finished. I thought they used/ Chemical Color Case--Would love to see it when it is done!

Well maybe Ken can chime in and dispel any theories.

My VC is coin finished. If it were chemical case coloring I wouldn't want it, isn't that what Ruger puts on their pistols that wears off real easily? I can't imagine VC would use a cheap process like that. Some here in the past claimed that VC uses cast receivers and parts and that wasn't true so hopefully Ken will weigh in on this issue.

Not all steel CCH well. I remember talking to someone--and they told me VC uses steel that did not CCH well. Chemical colors dont look bad if done well--just different. Chemical colors seem to wear faster though.

Yes, it is a Greener in 360No.2
It is redone but done very well.

There is a VC on Griffin & Howe's site.
The colors look dark - not sure if they are all like that though.
