Bone & Charcoal.

I'm familiar with carburization, boriding and nitriding, but I had to Google bone and charcoal. Seems pretty interesting. I always wondered how they got the really neat coloring effect on old rifles and pistols.

Do you recommend bone and charcoal for modern firearms?

 

[danthegunman]

It all depends on the steel. I've got some pretty good examples from new steel. If you go to http://www.gunblast.com/FiringPin.htm
you will see an example of a Winchester 94AE .44cal. that I refinished.
Also, You can go to my web-site to see more pic's of the firearm: http://danthegunman.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=35
