Does anyone know anyone fairly local who can do Color Case Hardening?

Is there anyone in Indiana who can do Color Case Hardening?

I have a NIB Winchester 94 Trapper that has the nasty bluing from the 70's. I would like to color case harden the receiver, lever, and barrel ring, plus maybe the hammer. Any help would be appreciated. Doug Turnbull is TOO EXPENSIVE.

You'll probably find that this rifle has too high of carbon content in the parts to be able to be CCH'd. It has to have less than 20 points of carbon in it other wise it is 'hardenable steel' and therefore would become very brittle in the CCH process. Liabilities such as this are why there are so few commercial outfits doing CCH. Having the steel tested to prove viability is an expensive process also.
