Cool, thanks for the pointers. I was wondering what you guys used to remove the excess. I'll have to try Hoppes when I get around to doing it. Are the lacquer sticks easier to use/more effective?
Awesome. I'm able to strip my 1911 to the bare-bones, except for maybe the slide. I don't have the tools to remove the sights, so you'd definitely have to do that. I'll definitely stop by your shop. Thanks again!!
Have any of you guys color-filled any of your roll marks? It seems like a straight-forward process, but wanted to know if any of you had any good tips that might make it easier to do.
Also, will I have to remove any color filling prior to applying duracoat/cerakote, or will either of those...
Thanks! How stripped do you need/like a 1911 to be? That will most likely be the first of the pair to get done. Is there a particular time that is best to call you? If you have a store front, it might be easier to work out, as I'm still not sure what color(s) I'd like. Thanks again for your help!
Yeah, a lot depends on the quality of the gun, caliber/gauge, and the manner in which you shoot/take care of it. I have a Marlin Model 60 with well over 50,000 rounds through it, and it still functions fine, but I had a Marlin Model 39AS that litterally fell apart after 5,000 rounds. So it...
Looks sharp! I'm in the process of building my first AR, and I haven't even thought about sling options yet. Do you like your Mamba 3 point on a collapsible stock?
I posted a message on his profile in this forum (don't have enough posts to send pm's yet), and he responded quickly with his phone number if I had any questions. I haven't had any work done yet, but I already like his professionalism. Definitely sounds like a stand-up guy!
I've heard lots of good things on this forum about your Cerakote work, and was wondering how much you typically charge to cerakote a 1911 and ar 15's. Thanks for your help!
Thanks, guys! I honestly did not expect this many responses so quickly. This is definitely the best forum I've ever been a member of. Keep up the good work! :patriot::ingo::ar15:
Awesome. Thanks for all the reply's, guys! Looks like I'll definitely be going with the 1/8" twist with an 18" barrel. Any experience with Criterion barrels?
This is my first post in this forum, so I apologize if this thread has been done before. Feel free to delete it if that is the case!
Anyways, on to my post :rockwoot:
Do any of you have experience with AR's chambered in .223 Wylde? I'm building an AR, and plan on using an 18" barrel with 1/8"...
