I’d prefer to buy, not lease.$1500 at lease
I want to find a old dog and have Turnbull bring it backI’d prefer to buy, not lease.
Could you get your SAA color case hardened at Turnbull for that price?
All of them, is my guess.How many are you buying?
Who's doing their color case?I doubt it will be that high, probably more like $1000. Turnbull is not doing them.
There was some discussion about that on Facebook and now I don't remember. I have a couple people I can ask.Who's doing their color case?
If the real ones look as good as the pictures they’ll sell a lot of them at that price.I doubt it will be that high, probably more like $1000. Turnbull is not doing them.
I had a Springfield 5100 SxS (Stevens 311) I recently sold, from the ‘30’s, that still had strong colors on the receiver.I think they look great, but I'm not a big SAA guy, so pass.
Is real CCH more durable/UV resistant than fake?
Some importers have but never a manufacturer. Navy Arms was doing 1873 rifles with premium finishes. Cimarron offers it as an option that's done through contract gunsmith.Are other Italian makers doing the same? I was at a Gun Show yesterday and spied an 1873 rifle with the most gorgeous case colors and bluing I’ve ever seen. I couldn't get closer than 10 feet due to the crowd; a guy was buying it so I didn’t have a chance.
BTW I really, really like that hogleg. I’d definitely buy one if I can find one locally and examine it.
It is. They're all fairly fragile compared to bluing but they take it a step further by putting a coat of varnish or lacquer over the finish to protect it. I have a custom Ruger done over 20yrs ago that the bluing is worn off in places but the CCH still looks new.I think they look great, but I'm not a big SAA guy, so pass.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. My issue is that with most of the models I look at(either in person on on the interweb) that the standard finished cylinder looks out of place, especially with the most profound CCH frames. Almost like someone put an replacement cylinder in it. Could be the the two-tone between the frame and cylinder is what others like, I dunno. But I do like the look of CCH triggers and hammers on revolvers. I'm really curious as why Pietta did CCH on the hammer, but not the trigger on these models, since the whole idea is about cosmetics/esthetics.I might be in the minority , but I don’t like it .
Probably because Colt never case colored a trigger, they originally nitre blued them. Not to mention the trigger is a high wear area and the finish would not last long.I'm pretty much in the same boat.

Victors does Cimarron'sI couldn't get a clear answer on who's doing their case colors but we agreed it's probably not Turnbull.

These are made in Italy and finished in the US with real bone charcoal color case hardening. They were announced back in October.
