Color CXaseharedened Big Boys
Color CXaseharedened Big Boys
I just read on another forum that H.R.A. is considering building some Big Boy rifles of various calibers with the color case receiver. Does anyone have any real news about this ?

Re: Color CXaseharedened Big Boys
it was reported a good while back that Henry has plans to increase the number of color casehardened rifles .... I hope that means the increase is on the way

Hopefully. With an octagon barrel. Drilled and tapped for a williams receiver sight and a tang sight.

No news, but hey- if you're listening Henry, count me in!

More color case hardened options??? Crap, I'd be forced to start my collection all over again. Even though I only have 1 Henry now more CCH would change my plans significantly!

Re: Color CXaseharedened Big Boys
we have several threads with pictures and comments from folks who have changed the color of their Henry's receiver .... I've spoken with a gunsmith who has the equipment and knowledge to take a production rifle and color case harden it .... I have seen samples of his work and he's really good .... down the line (hopefully late this year or early next year) I hope to send him my BBS 44 mag and have him take it apart and color case harden it .... I really like the finish of our color case hardened 45-70 and would like to have both our BBS 44 & 357 color case hardened as well ....

Any ideas of a ball park figure of how much he charges to do the job?

Re: Color CXaseharedened Big Boys
When I asked Anthony about the 38-55 caliber coming in the CCH he said he couldnt release the details right now. Which makes me think there up to something new maybe. Will see but the 38-55 is coming this fall he says. Al

Re: Color CXaseharedened Big Boys
not yet, haven't gotten that serious about it .... whatever it is has to be much cheaper than buying a new rifle

Re: Color CXaseharedened Big Boys
on his website : "Color Case Marlin Lever Action Receiver $300 Due to Extra Precautions Necessary" .... Henry isn't mentioned but I'd be surprised if it isn't in that neighborhood .... that's the reason I haven't had ours done .... one day hopefullyJoezilla wrote:Any ideas of a ball park figure of how much he charges to do the job?
