Local source for case color hardening or bluing?

[SchmittZoid]

Gents, anyone know of a reasonably local source for getting parts case color hardened? Who would you recommend?

Photos of results would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure anyone does it locally anymore. I packed up my kiln and crucibles years ago. Not worth the headaches.

You could give Double E Custom a call. They're in Tyrone, Georgia. 678-358-6600. Try doubleecustom@yahoo.com and request an exemplar of their work. I met them yesterday at the gun show. The owner told me he was doing color case restoration and application but hadn't started hot bluing yet (has the gear, just hasn't started it).

His name is Danny.
He does hot bluing as well. He's re-blued a few guns for me in the past.

If it's supposed to have case coloring, most likely not supposed to be hot blued, unless of course it's very modern. Old timey stuff that was case colored was slow rust blued. Bill Schwartz in Ellijay does great case color and rust blue. See attached for example of his work.
