Safety might be a no go for some ranges. I use a camber flag so they are fine with that. The hammer tension wheel requiring me to widen the cutout; took time to reshape. It's a good thing I had a cut out tool. Bronze automotive touch paint fixed things up. I'm probably gonna get the chassis...
Your liner may have a burr or leading if it can squib a pellet with minimal bore bearing surface. First steps I might take is use some yellow lead cleaning cloth from a gun store and clean the liner carefully avoiding multi piece steel rods. I use coated carbon rods on all my barrels, air or...
Looks like that article is from 2018. Shake n bake powdercoating has come a long way since then. Techniques and powder choices have improved and 2 coats are pretty much a thing of the past for great coverage. No one I know uses Harbor Freight powder coat anymore. Eastwood, Cardinal and other...
...you would have to individual handle each slug a set up right in silicon.ice.cube trays.. So 1100 slugs cast time 4-5 hours. Total.time powdercoating including 13 min oven maybe 30 min total..It took 8 lbs of pure lead at a $1.00 a pound to make 1100 47-50grain.slugs..Probably about 2...
Powdercoating helps put you don't have to use it. Reduce s leading. The Airforce are good for single shot max.power hunting long distance... The FX.guns you were shooting are fine wine compared to Airforce. For you. A.G30 Side lever with 30 cal pellets probably alot.better. Airforce make big...
Reedmosser convinced me to try this so for the past 2 weeks I collected a toaster oven and powder coat. Took the Bushbuck to the range today and was very satisfied with these. Super slippery, accuracy same as bare lead and a clean barrel when you get home.
I hope it works for you. But it didn't for me in my benchrest accuracy quest. I've tried HBN, moly, tungsten, teflon, and graphite. Treated barrels and pellets. Most increased muzzle velocity. None improved accuracy/precision; in fact they mostly worsened groups. And all but graphite...
...loose fit in the Huben GK1 pistol and fell out when the gun tipped back with gate open. I am going to try another coat and see if it tightens up in the GK1. Will post the size when I add another coat. These dies may work out for several different guns as easy to increase the size by powder...
It's still holding up good, I've shot at least a couple of tins thru it since then. The stuff I used isn't ideal and I coated it with a clear matte spray to protect it. I already had the stuff so I used it. I would think anodizing would hold up really well, or powder coat. Time will tell how...
I hear you. Fortunately, the press is well-made and of great overall quality. As for the punch and dies, the new crown setup makes it easy and cheaper to get replacement dies made if you have access to the right equipment. Fortunately, I have access to a tool and die machine shop and will be...
https://www.facebook.com/share/dBLavxK3gjetJfEa/?mibextid=WC7FNe Just picked up one of these. Same part wolverine 3d printed over. I think it was 68$ and i just might paint it black. I could powder coat it too. Never thought i would see the day I would have a 4500 tank on this gun. Tank...
Interesting. I have an unopened can of black plastidip right next to me…I could try and always peel it off if it doesn’t work. so if I understand correctly, your observation it that it may indeed have worked?
The powdercoating is applied using shake and bake method...coffee container,,, slugs,,,,powdercoating,,,,, shake,,shake,,,dump off excess powder,,,,in the oven at 400 10 -20 min...Ottawa oven in water quench to separate..
Yes powdercoating works. One absolutely huge benefit is never handling lead or lead exposure. I smoke I don't wanna wash my hands every time I handle a slug. It does reduce leading.... If your barrel is absolutely rough no powdercoating won't fix horrible factory barrel.. I hand lapped my...
Sounds like you have the experience it takes to make a big bore pcp accurate!!!! Give powdercoating a try!!!Or buy some slugs already powder coated..It doesn't hurt anything 😀 Keep up the good work
...the vehicle. But everyone was bitching about the paint job and wished it was powder coated. That would cost me more money on the production side. If my painted kayak racks continued to sell to the point I had trouble keeping up with demand, do you think I would even consider powdercoating them?
Tried powdercoating my 105’s today. My only comment is I will have to refine my technique 🤣. Also casted a hundred fifty or so round balls. They mic out at .363. They chamber kind of stiff, but shot well at 35yds. Going to try to go out in the morning and take it out to 50, maybe 75.
