    I am redoing concrete floor in my garage. Garage on fill and after 30+ years of settling and cracks had to bust out and pour again. I wanted to put an epoxy coating on this time but holy cow the stuff is expensive. If anyone has any suggestions what to use, it would be helpful. The rust-oleum stuff I am leaning toward is about 80 cents a square foot and I need about 1700 sq ft. That's dipping into the gun fund.:spend:

    These days a lot of folks are using polyaspartic coatings, looks great and lasts a long time.

    Applied on a garage floor I don't know. I worked on a project evaluating strengthening wood veneer using them and they weren't much more than bisphenol-A epoxy with the benefit of being UV resistant. I'm pretty sure they are applied at 100% solids as well so limited smell and faster filling of irregularities in the floor.

    Back in the day I finished garage floors and plane hangers with bisphenol-A epoxy, polyaspartics were not available, would have used those if possible.

    Looking at the parts and mechanism makes me think old school USSR. Everything except the leaf springs is oversize, heavy and squared off. Gun looks like it will be shooting for the next 164 years easily.

    Model 92 clones in 357 are fun, inexpensive shooting.

    I don't know if you reload or cast bullets, but a 92 clone will take some serious power for the small cartridge that a .357 is. Hunting with 160-185 grain cast bullets will get complete pass through on a deer. I load those for my son, my old 92 is in 44-40, which does a good job with cast as well.

    I dont reload, if I do take it hunting though i have a buddy at work with a bit of 180gr buffalo bore i can get off of him. I ran some through my 686 and it packs a punch.

    I've heard good things about Buffalo Bore ammo, should work well.

    Back in the day before .357, ammo companies loaded 32-20, an early speedy cartridge, to the moon for use in the Model 92. Folks wanting to translate that to the revolvers of the day were the the inspiration of the Robert Johnson blues song about the 32-20. A lot of Smiths and Colts were shaken to pieces, and ammo companies ended that practice. Those loads did work well in old Model 92s though, like this SRC in 32-20.
