Title: Gun finish suppliers in Wa?
Post by: phishisgroovin on April 19, 2009, 12:47:48 PM: I am wanting to purchase some Aluma-hyde spray on paint finish for a rifle project. i was wondering if anyone here knew if the Aluma-Hyde or GunKote finishes are available it retail stores near or in King County?

I want to remove the stove paint from the metal and use the more durable finishes of Aluma-hyde or gunkote to complete my toy.

Been doing a very nice job with it too.

No idea on where to buy the coating though.

Fit-4 Duty, is a advertiser at 24hour, IIRC they sell a coating, I think it might be duracoat.

Post by: phishisgroovin on April 23, 2009, 06:14:37 PM: ordered that magazine last sunday, should be delivered tomorrow per the UPS tracking.
I sure cant wait to go test fire it at the indoor range tomorrow night (i hope) :IBCOOL:

cant wait to see how the rifle functions and what type of accuracy it will provide after a few rounds scrub the barrel a bit more than my chemicals and cleaning kit did.
