(Sturgis, South Dakota) Parkwest Arms (formerly Dakota Arms) a leading manufacturer of finely crafted, custom bolt-action rifles and accessories, is now pleased to offer color case hardening services to both consumers and industry manufacturers alike that are in search of the truly unique and traditional art of color case hardening.

A blend of knowledge and old-world craftsmanship in which metal is heat treated and surface hardened with visually stunning results, bone charcoal color case hardening of firearms is an art form that produces unmistakably beautiful pieces. From historic lever-action rifles and classic revolvers to elegant sporting shotguns and world-class bolt-action hunting rifles, color case hardening produces a finish that elevates an already renowned firearm to an heirloom that can be lovingly and respectfully passed from generation to generation.

In the past decade more and more of the gunsmiths and gunmakers that provided case hardening services have drastically declined. Parkwest Arms, still holds true to the traditional case hardening process(es) and has always offered its case hardening services to its valued and loyal customers. Taking this art to another level, the management team at the Company has decided to offer this ever-becoming rare service to other firearm manufacturers whom, have either lost their case hardening provider or no longer have this service internally. “All of us at Parkwest take an immense amount of pride in our rifle making and case hardening is one of many steps we take to transition an average firearm into a work of art,” said Steve Rabackoff, President of Parkwest Arms. “We see a significant number of other brands come through the door to get case hardened, it made sense to open up our case hardening services to the industry and encourage all gun manufacturers to contact us to see if we’re able to help.”
