    SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD: Annealeez Case Annealing Machine

    Case Prep with a Lee Zip Trim

    Gunsmithing Parkerizing or blasting for coating prep?

    I have been blasting everything with alum ox and had a friend ask about use the duracoat parkerizing solution as a prep for various coatings. I understand the concept of giving the coatings something to hang on to but is the parkerizing better or equal to blasting? This would be for both...
