Casehardened a Ruger #1
- Thread starter rwnblack
- Start date
I polished to 400 grit, wrapped with lots of banding for shielding. I packed in a 1/3 bone charcoal and 2/3 wood charcoal, in a steel box. I bubbled the tank for 2 hours, while I heated the box with action and charcoal for 2 hours. Dunked in water without air bubbling.

Looks awesome, would the steel be stronger also?
Always like that bone hardening look
Ruger#1 action is already a bank vault to start with.

Now you're going to have to do something special to the stocks lol
they are a investment casting very hard surface extremely difficult to engrave
it's case colouring it does not change the metal strength it was designed to add durability to the under finish to slow the wearing process
