[QUOTE="tred1956, post: 2910449, member: 12210"] I have acquired a Flatside Contender frame and am considering having it color case hardened. My first thought was Turnbull but they no longer do original Contenders only G-2 and Encores. What I would like to ask is does anyone have personal experience with any other smiths that color case harden? All recommendations or opinions appreciated. For info Marty at Haus of Arms (who handles Turnbulls TC firearms) says that the reason Turnbull no longer does Original Contenders is that it warps the frame about 50% of the time. While I trust Marty & Turnbull, I have wanted a flatside Contender CCH for a LOOOONG Time LOL Some smiths advertise lower temperature Color Case Hardening. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone. What do you all think? Thanks for reading Doug [/QUOTE]
