    Re: Duracote spray gun? I forgot to say you defintetly need to remove your trigger and tear down your bolt. Remove firing pin before blasting. Like 81sfo said media goes everywhere. Good Luck.

    Gunsmithing Duracote spray gun?

    Re: Duracote spray gun? Barely 1/4 a hoper full. Don't worry about collecting the media. You can buy 20lbs for 24.87 and that will do alot of rifles. Like 81sfo said were a mask,eye protection. Cotton balls or rubber plugs in the chamber and crown. It's definetly something you can try...

    Gunsmithing Duracote spray gun?

    Re: Duracote spray gun? Odds are most body shops will not have aluminum oxide. I didin't till I started coating my own rifles. Degrease before you blast or sand. If you don't as you sand the surface all your grease and oil will get worked into the steal/fiberglass. I use a hand held sand...

    Gunsmithing Duracote spray gun?

    Re: Duracote spray gun? I just did my first batch of duracote using my Iwata airbrush and a SATA mini gun with a .6 nozzle. Everything worked great with no problems. I've been in the body shop business my whole life and I can tell you,"You get what you pay for." The better the spraygun the...

    Gunsmithing Adjusting Howa Trigger?

    Re: Adjusting Howa Trigger? Trigger is very easy to adjust. Did mine lastnight and set it right at 2lbs. with no creep. Had always been told not to expect much from the factory trigger. But have to admit I'm impressed with the oe unit.

    Best action to build from

    Re: Best action to build from Just throwing this in there. But what about a HOWA action? I know not as near common as a Rem. But seems to be better from the factory. Sako extractor, lugs similar to Rem, larger recoil lug, triggers readily available, and not hard to find a smith to work on it...
