    Tactical Solutions X-Ring Receiver with another brand barrel?

    I have a few 10-22 builds that I have been working on/planning. I put a Volquartsen stainless THM Tension barrel on a stainless factory receiver with a custom Rimfire Technologies trigger assembly on a Raptor laminated stock. I custom bedded it and it is solid as a rock. Now I have a Tactical...

    Gunsmithing Can you Duracoat/Ceracoat anodized Aluminum?

    Thanks again Straight Shooter, I feel like you have put on a Cerakote clinic here on the forum! LOTS of good info. I know what I need to get started now. Then, when I screw up, I know I can send it to you to be re-done:) Seriously, thanks for all of the great info and help. That is what I...

    Gunsmithing Can you Duracoat/Ceracoat anodized Aluminum?

    I just watched the Cerakote Application and Training video on YouTube and I take back what I said about the prep! Man, it seems like Cerakote is very particular in regards to prep. Is Cerakote really that picky about the sandblasting media? I guess acetone is the way to go for degreasing. Wow.

    Gunsmithing Can you Duracoat/Ceracoat anodized Aluminum?

    Thanks again Straight Shooter, I really appreciate the advice and info. You sold me on the Cerakote. I am going to start with some small parts that are just test pieces when I get started. I am not that worried about the prep, I am ok with that stuff, I am dreading the cleanup of the...

    Gunsmithing Can you Duracoat/Ceracoat anodized Aluminum?

    Straight Shooter, thanks again for the info. I was looking for Cerakote and on Brownell's web site here: CERAKOTE AIR-DRY CERAMIC COATINGS | Brownells they show an "air dry" version of the Cerakote. Do you know if there is any difference in the durability of the air dry versus the oven baked...

    Gunsmithing Staining/finishing a stock blue?

    I am building a Ruger 10-22 for my daughter and she wanted the rifle to be "blue". I am not ready to Cerakote the receiver/barrel, etc. but thought I might try to stain a stock for her. I am using a Wood Plus youth stock that is the standard brown wood color like this: I was hoping to...

    That is an impressive video Straight Shooter! How do Cerakote and Duracoat compare as far as difficulty of application?

    Gunsmithing Can you Duracoat/Ceracoat anodized Aluminum?

    Thanks Snorules. I am going to have to do some research on getting some filters for my compressors. I have one large compressor (33gal) that I use for everything from pumping up inflatable rafts to using air tools on my truck, and a small 1/8 HP Paasche compressor (D500SR) that I bought second...

    Gunsmithing Can you Duracoat/Ceracoat anodized Aluminum?

    Thanks for the replies guys, VERY helpful! I know that the object has to be spotless and free of any traces of oil, etc. As far as sandblasting goes, I assume you blast just enough to rough it up, and then clean it, right? Thanks again, Ken

    Gunsmithing Can you Duracoat/Ceracoat anodized Aluminum?

    I have a buddy with an aluminum receiver for a 10-22 that is anodized blue and he wants to change the color to flat black. If you prep the receiver (sand blast it) can it be Duracoated or Ceracoated? Does anyone know which brand is better? I have done a lot of searching on line and cannot...

    What happened to the "Pay it Forward" thread?

    Thanks for the info. I did the same thing (using the search tool) and could not find the link. It seems like whenever I do a search, even an advanced search I get hundreds of results and few are relevant. Weird.

    What happened to the "Pay it Forward" thread?

    I noticed that when the forum changed formats that the "Pay it Forward" thread disappeared. Can a new Pay it Forward area be added? Thanks, Ken
