BTW, does the pretty case-hardening color on parts mean anything functionally?
Looks like I get an education in metallurgy. Is it possible to get Kasenit anywhere but Brownell's? I'd like to avoid the shipping hassle/cost.

Dixie Gunworks has a hammer for a Remington reproduction for $17.00 but as to how much fitting you may need to get it to work on your Uberti is unknown, VTI has em for $42.oo...
The Color Case Hardening works the same way as the Case Hardening procedure with Kasenit but the materials used in the process is what gives it that nice coloring.
You can get a small ammount of Kasenit from
Dixie Gunworks
You can also get a 1 pound can of Kasenit from
Track of the Wolf
