Pack Hardened Refinish

Post by powderhorn »

Many years ago when I ordered my #1 Creedmoor Silhouette the only finish available was the standard color case hardening. I'd like to have the receiver refinished in the Pack Hardened Case. Is this possible?

Best Regards,

Powderhorn,
Not an issue with the refinishing. I’ve done it many times. Best way is to anneal, polish, then preform the the bone pack hardening process. Annealing reduces the chance for warping and makes it easer to polish.
