    Gunsmithing smooth-kote & BP2000

    Before I get tagged for re-posting, I did multiple searches and none of them covered my questions! I use the Smooth-Kote & BP2000 on my barrels and like it, and I have read that you can use them on your slides, semi-auto bolt carriers, actions, bolts, triggers, etc. as a dry lube replacement for...

    Smooth-Kote & BP2000 Moly coatings slides/actions

    Before people tell me to do a search for this I did, and none of the results cover my questions. I currently use the Smooth-Kote & BP2000 on my barrels, but I have read that you can also use these to replace oil on your slides,actions,bolts and even trigger parts so that you have a dry lubricant...

    Rifle Scopes Rookie, PLEASE HELP! Tactical vs Long Range scope?

    Re: Rookie, PLEASE HELP! Tactical vs Long Range scope? I got a little bit of magnification schooling when looking for binos and someone suggested to try comparing actual detail between the 8x and the 10x, and surprise surprise, I got more from the 8x due to lower effect from minute shaking...

    Lucas Bore Guides ?'s

    Re: Lucas Bore Guides ?'s yes he asked what cleaning rod I use as well. I knew I was going to get one,from everything I have read from every site they are the best, so I never questioned quality, I was just trying to make sure they were rifle specific, which I now know they are. Thank...

    Re: Lucas Bore Guides ?'s Yeah I told him what rifle I had and he replied with a price and ETA, he seemed like he knew the gun and had all the information he needs, but I tried to ask a feeler question to make sure that it would be for the specific rifle I have but he asked that I Google...

    Lucas Bore Guides ?'s

    I am planning on getting a Lucas bore guide but have a couple questions before I do. I know that the guides are made to fit the specific chamber size, but are they made so that a .308Win bore guide is the same for all .308Win. chambers? Is the only difference the length of the guide? Or are they...

    Gunsmithing Degreasers

    I am planning to do some Cerakoting and was wondering if anyone could reccomend what they use to degrease? And has anyone coated any plastic parts? Brownells says that for plastic/polymer pieces a 200 degree 2 hour cure is adequate, will most parts hold up at that temp? When doing plastics...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why I will never buy another kimber

    Re: Why I will never buy another kimber I was able to pick one up for a smoking price a few years ago and am very pleased. The safety had a little bit of a burr which made it almost imposseible to return to safe mode but I was able to polish it up very easily. I haven't had any real problems...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote Application

    Re: Cerakote Application To me it seems like a great idea to follow the preperation, application and baking instructions given on the NIC website & video as closely as possible. With that being said, with what I gather from here and every other site I search, it seems that Cerakote is pretty...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote Baking

    Can I use a small toaster oven type oven to bake on my cerakote? I know that at the surface it sounds like a stupid question but for some reason food tastes a little different when baked in a toaster oven so I was just wondering if anyone has tried this before I do it and ruin my gun. The only...

    can anyone reccomend a small,inexpensive blasting gun to use for blasting a couple guns to be Cerakote'd exclusively?

    Rifle Scopes M1 vs. Target knobs

    Re: M1 vs. Target knobs Do you have to send your scope in to get the M1 turrets put on it? I have been thinking about switching lately but when you go to Leupolds website it only shows the turrets as an add on to a scope you are buying and doesn't have much info on how you can switch them if...

    Gunsmithing cerakote prep ?'s

    I am planning on Cerakoting a couple guns but I was wondering if it is possible to prep without sand blasting? Can I just use a coarse Scoth-Brite pad or something of that sort? I don't have a blaster and don't want to have to spend a ton of money on a blaster and hvlp gun for the two or three...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote Air Cure

    Re: Cerakote Air Cure Do the polymer pieces need to be blasted? If so, should I use a different type of blast media?

    Gunsmithing Cerakote Air Cure

    I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the air cure version of Cerakote? Is the application any different? How does it hold up? Also, since it doesn't require heating can it be used on polymer parts? Any info you can provide is greatly appreciated. I looked through the forums and did...
