I just got these back from refinishing. I had them stripped, powder coated in the metallic grey, and clear coated for protection. I then had the FX Maverick logo laser etched back onto both sides of the FX chassis. This kit includes (in all matching finishes): 1. OEM FX Maverick chassis 2. OEM...
okay sounds good now if you were to take it apart and go to the trouble to strip it down i think i would take it in and have it powder coated, more money yes but better finish good luck with your new pistol
There is no way to have a machine shop measure bore of magazine, Unless I want to pay 100 bucks, I am in the oil field nothing free everyone wants to get rich,, My 25 is such a breeze to shoot just push the pellet in rotate magazine and shoot,, Maybe I Was expecting to much from the 22 and...
Wow that's a truly beautiful powder coat slug selection... I can't find any negative s of powdercoating over naked lead slugs... Keep up the good work😀
Yes I've used shake and bake powdercoating method to do. Abt 300 lbs of .510 cast powder coat slugs. Can do 25 lbs of slugs at a time doing shake and bake powdercoating. Watch Elvis ammo on YouTube......
Looks like that article is from 2018. Shake n bake powdercoating has come a long way since then. Techniques and powder choices have improved and 2 coats are pretty much a thing of the past for great coverage. No one I know uses Harbor Freight powder coat anymore. Eastwood, Cardinal and other...
Reedmosser convinced me to try this so for the past 2 weeks I collected a toaster oven and powder coat. Took the Bushbuck to the range today and was very satisfied with these. Super slippery, accuracy same as bare lead and a clean barrel when you get home.
Powdercoating helps put you don't have to use it. Reduce s leading. The Airforce are good for single shot max.power hunting long distance... The FX.guns you were shooting are fine wine compared to Airforce. For you. A.G30 Side lever with 30 cal pellets probably alot.better. Airforce make big...
...you would have to individual handle each slug a set up right in silicon.ice.cube trays.. So 1100 slugs cast time 4-5 hours. Total.time powdercoating including 13 min oven maybe 30 min total..It took 8 lbs of pure lead at a $1.00 a pound to make 1100 47-50grain.slugs..Probably about 2...
...loose fit in the Huben GK1 pistol and fell out when the gun tipped back with gate open. I am going to try another coat and see if it tightens up in the GK1. Will post the size when I add another coat. These dies may work out for several different guns as easy to increase the size by powder...
I hope it works for you. But it didn't for me in my benchrest accuracy quest. I've tried HBN, moly, tungsten, teflon, and graphite. Treated barrels and pellets. Most increased muzzle velocity. None improved accuracy/precision; in fact they mostly worsened groups. And all but graphite...
It's still holding up good, I've shot at least a couple of tins thru it since then. The stuff I used isn't ideal and I coated it with a clear matte spray to protect it. I already had the stuff so I used it. I would think anodizing would hold up really well, or powder coat. Time will tell how...
The powdercoating is applied using shake and bake method...coffee container,,, slugs,,,,powdercoating,,,,, shake,,shake,,,dump off excess powder,,,,in the oven at 400 10 -20 min...Ottawa oven in water quench to separate..
Yes powdercoating works. One absolutely huge benefit is never handling lead or lead exposure. I smoke I don't wanna wash my hands every time I handle a slug. It does reduce leading.... If your barrel is absolutely rough no powdercoating won't fix horrible factory barrel.. I hand lapped my...
