My buddy wanted his New Vaquero case hardened so I touched up the blue and polished some internals while I was at it. I think it came out better.

That looks great. Was the frame cc to begin with and faded? I have a Vaquero with the same issues. What did you do to  make it look so nice?

Thanks guys. The frame was the Ruger cc finish and had faded or pealed as they are prone to do. I completely disassembled the revolver and did a true color case hardening job to it.
