Rooster Ron Wayne Posted March 16 Posted March 16 I'm just curious if anyone knows what type of CCH Chaippa 1886 has on its recivers . Is it real bone or chemical CCH ? Thank you . Rooster
Warden Callaway Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Here is an original Winchester redone by Wyoming Armory.
Trailrider #896 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Original color casehardening consists of using carburizing material (leather/charcoal) heated to form a layer of high carbon material on a low carbon base part/receiver. This provides surface hardness on a stronger, less brittle base material. Since virtually all modern replica guns use high-strength alloy steels for extra strength, carburizing the surface is not done. Therefore, to get the appearance of color casehardening, a chemical process is used to create the colors.
Trailrider #896 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 The interesting thing about the mods necessary to feed the .50-110 is the changes made to the M71, which shoot the .348 WCF cartridge, which is based on the .50-110 case rim and base diameters. What is even more interesting is the fact that substituting a set of M71 breechblock and locking lugs into M1886 rifles, does not require any mods to the original to properly feed either .45-70 or .33 WCF (based on the .45-70 case) cartridges.. The video says nothing about mods for the .50-100-450 round, which is basically the .50-10 with a heavier bullet in the same cartridge case.

Just curious to know if Chiappa CCH is done correctly or is it chemicals like Uberti ?
