I recently discovered color case hardened finishes. They look great on 1911s, lever-actions, and revolvers
I thought I was the only one that didn't like them eitherNever really cared for it on any item.
I generally prefer more utilitarian finishes - such as matte dark colors - I like the matte parkerizing look on many guns, even revolvers and lever actions. I like high gloss blueing but I worry about rust. I don't care for much for matte or highly polished stainless and I don't care for chrome or nickel unless it is matte. I do like the gray matte stainless or titanium/scandium finishes.I thought I was the only one that didn't like them either
Excellent. Are you a member at the Colt Forum? Which year is this fine example? Original or high speed mainspring housing?
Photo of the Series One, Colt Woodsman Sport taken from the Internet. One of JMB's finest designs.Excellent. Are you a member at the Colt Forum? Which year is this fine example? Original or high speed mainspring housing?
Another couple of companies were Oldsmobile who made heavy machine guns, and cannon as well as the M-2 and M-3 parts, any heavy stampings used for firearms likely came from Olds. Then there was Fairbanks Morse who made far more then low speed Engines! They were/are owned by parent company Colt Heavy industries and were part of the weapon design and prototyping for Colt weapon series production.Unknown makers of WWII militaria.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Light 'em up"
Getting mine back from Regan Nonneman any day now.In the modern world, I would place a Ruger Number 1-S at the head of the list. Strong, great design, and pleasing to the eye.
Best,

I think all the chinese aks are good looking. I want to do something like this with a mak-91. I've only ever seen one of those breaks for sale once though.
