Firearms finishes

[tombogan03884]

While I can't find it now, I thought I had posted a while back asking about finishes on gun's.
BM got me thinking about it with his "Bed liner" stock treatment" (How's that holding up by the way ? My google -fu is weak tonight    )

I have seen pictures of the Kimber 1911 commemorative, the Case hardened frame looks pretty good.
Don't any of you have any pimped out guns ?
No BBQ guns in Texas ?

It hurts too bad to scuff up a pimped out gun.

Closest thing I have to a BBQ gun is a Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 Target model.........  


Nut'n fancy, but it's a fine shooter.................

There are many good finishes  for firearms, Metalloy, a beautiful hard chrome, that has a blue tint to the silver, and hard as hell, amaloy, not at pretty, but a good finish, NP3, kind on a titanium finish, really rugged, not to ugly. Black hard chrome, hard to beat, and rugged too. Do your research, its out there.

I like blue, park and matte SS.   I've never been a fan of the "case hardening" finishs.

I read through the "Parts" ads in Shotgun News, when I'm bored I daydream about what i "could" build
M25, I AM doing my research

Did you mean Armoloy, M25?

I had a Ruger Blackhawk .357 done with Armoloy by these folks back in the 70s.  http://www.armoloyftworth.com/Armoloy_WebDevelopment/Web_Pages/Firearms_Applications.htm

It seemed indestructible.  Very tough finish.  Didn't look very tactical...sorta of a matte gray finish.

Pictures of the finish and more information can be found here http://www.armoloy-tx.com/applications.html

.25 cal and up barrel insides can be done.

I never liked Armolloy, T/C used to use that before they came out with true "Stainless steel Contender's.
Blued barrels would fit on Armoloy guns, but Armoloy barrels would not fit blued guns do to the thickness of the plating.

Picky, picky, picky.

Wonder if the thickness has been reduced?  Seems like that would be a major problem.  Though Contenders were very tightly fitted.  My 30-30 has the bluing worn off the barrel from rubbing against the frame.

Armoloy might might not be the only finish that would have had that problem with the Contenders.
