Just for the heck of it I emailed Tyler Gun Works to ask about their process for CCH the Henry levers and the response was:

Ed, thanks for your message this is definitely done in a traditional method the dates back to the late 1700s.
The chemical or flax Color Case does not hold up and in my opinion should not be used in the industry.
Thanks again Bobby

Then I responded with:

Bobby,

Thanks for the reply!
Now do you also do the receivers for Henry for their CCH models?
Again thanks.

Ed

To which he replied:

Yes sir

So good on Henry for having the parts CCH by the traditional method instead of chemical.

Yep, the real deal, but time and labor intensive, hence the cost differential. Don't know for sure, but would doubt there are many companies doing this in the firearms space.
Speaks to why CCH scope rings are $150+/pair.

Well I guess I could settle for the brass model with an octagonal barrel. But I don’t think there is enough demand for something like that so I don’t see Henry making them.

I’m surprised they didn’t first come out with octagon barrels. It would have mounted a scope much better and added weight. But, I can see why they didn’t go that route for now. Just this is a brand new model they probably wanted to keep costs low until they work out the kinks and any surprise issues.
