We specialize in traditional wood and bone charcoal color case hardening! 

​

About Us

We are located in northeast Iowa right in the heart of whitetail, pheasant and trout country. We share your passion for the outdoors and for beautiful case hardened guns.

​

Our Process

First we prepare the parts by doing a complete disassembly and clean the parts of all grease and contaminants. We spend a lot of time getting the perfect polish finish on all parts. Next we pack the metal with organic substances high in carbon.  We heat the metal and keep it at a high temperature for an extended period of time. Next we do the critical quench incorporating carbon into the molecular structure of the surface layer of the metal. The result is a beautiful surface coloration, a mottled gradient of colors unique to each gun.  Each case hardened gun is one of a kind, a true work of art!
