Case colored No.1's...anyone have one done?

[rugerjunkie]

Browsing around online this afternoon since it's too darn hot to do anything outside right now and this thought popped into my head.

A No.1 with the action , rib , grip cap , and possibly the rings case colored is on my want list now.

Anyone have one done up with pictures to share?

I don't have one but I have threatened to have one. Might send one to Turnbull.

I have one but sorry I don't have photos to share. I believe Turnbull did mine - looks just like the one on his web page:

With the rust blue it is a looker!

 

[rugerjunkie]

Yes that is nice! Without having to call them for a quote , does anyone know what the cost is for that?

Check with member Bobby Tyler. He does this work 8)

Turnbull built me a rifle and I can vouch for his work. You get what you pay for. He did not case color harden it, however, all the other work was impeccable.

I have one done by Kip Wood in MI that turned out very nice. I cannot post picts here but PM me your email address and I will get you a pict or two.

I've had two done.

Top one by Steve Durren of Johnson's Guns in MI, the bottom by Bobby Tyler.

Very nice! I like the one that also has the lever done as well...

 

[bigskyguy]

Yes, that one really turned out nice! It's an RSI, and the pistol grip cap, for end cap and rings were also done.

It started life as a 243, but Steve Durren lined the barrel and it is now a 22 Hornet that shoots little bitty bug hole groups!

Really classy little rifle!

The other one is also a full custom. Stock hand carved and hand checkered with an ebony for end tip. Douglas air gauged xx barrel chambered in 222 Rem.

It is probably my most accurate No. 1 and I absolutely LOVE it.

My only regret in the build was not having it CCH'ed, so I had it done later...i don't like the looks of it as much as my other one, but it's still pretty nice.

Ya, I don't quite understand that...

The last time I called and asked about pricing they told me that I could send a polished receiver and save a bunch of $$$.

Now granted, that has been a couple years ago so something must have changed.

Kip Wood in MT. Pleasant MI did my case hardening for a custom 257 Roberts AI and it is every bit what I could have wanted from anyone.
