    Tuning How are pcp stainless tanks blued/colored black?

    Hmmm i wonder how hard would be to anodize the tank if its aluminum? Im pretty sure its aluminum because sanding with sandpaper was extremely difficult[as it should be -it's aluminum oxide we are sanding here, with aluminum oxide paper :/ ]. Weird that anodized surface would discolor from sweaty...

    Tuning How are pcp stainless tanks blued/colored black?

    Ok thanks. I thought it's stainless steel because it's durable yet it won't get blued by a standard bluing compounds.

    Vector Optics Marksman vs Veyron vs Tourex

    Ive made a topic back ago about westhunter optic. Now i've upped my budget and im looking for a scope. I've decided on Veyron 6-24x44 since it's pretty compact and would suit my smaller rifle visually and i dont mind limited field of view for static target shooting. But im also thinking about...
