Gun coatings?

[kylesdad]

Does anyone know where I can get a gun hard chromed or parkerized?

I have some "witch doctor" metal finishing processes and formulas in an antique metal working book if you want to try it yourself.

I used Donley's gun shop in quakertown to parkerize a rifle and he was great and easy to deal with.
phone to shop is 215-529-6578.

I have had 2 guns done by them and I could not be happier with the result. Turn around time was reasonable too.

both of these places offered me fair prices when i emailed them. I was looking for a satin nickel finish, but they both offer chrome.

Good advice...they do great work, but their CS sucks. Don't hold your breathe if you leave them a vmail to have them return your call. They seldom answer phone calls and they never returned a vm from me. They also will not send you an email or call you to let you know that your parts have shipped.

Years ago I refinished a great many guns and knives with a product call Guncoat. It was basicly a flat black parkerized finish that you sprayed on from a spray can after heating the part in an oven to a certain temprature (been to long to remember what temp it was now). It dried on contact and bonded into the metal. It was extremely durable. As I remember after allowing the initial coat to cool you could reheat and recoat for a thicker finish. I remember doing an old rifle bayonet and it was later stored in a metal sheath in an out building for several years. It never had even a spec of rust of any kind on it. I believe Brownells later offered a similar product in a varity of colors known as BROWNELLS - TEFLON/MOLY OVEN CURE, GUN FINISH.

Before you ever spray any components, parts, or equipment, the best powder coat gun system should be selected. The best scenario is to have a system that will require only minimum manual touch-up. Simple shapes, flat panels or tubes can be effectively coated with corona charging guns. For coating of complex shapes that include areas where some penetration is required, a corona charging gun with FARADAY WAVE™ technology would be recommended.

I don't know about all that but I do know that this guncoat product made a flawless,smooth, non glare finish that was as tough as nails. Because of the temprature of the metal it penetrated into and bonded with the metal. And it was inexpensive even for the time. I'm sure the product that Brownells offers now is just as good. Better as a matter of fact because of the variety of colors that are offered.
