simple Hi-Tek coating

[Ausglock]

It's a victor precision gun, he used a sheumann hybricomp. He can't get them anymore, but easily bought in the usa, the dood that makes them has no export license.

I got tied up in the aussie copper projectile thingo. I paid him to get me one.... 2 years ago

ACP was a pox on the shooting community.
Why not get Vic to fit a Pulver barrel with one of his new VP comps he is now making?

[Tazza]

It may have to come to that eventually it already has a titanium comp that worked really well.

The slide was cut for the 4 ports before the comp, i ideally wanted the same to go back in it to keep it looking fancy. There is something said for keeping major components stock, so if anything was to happen, you can get another drop in replacement. If it didn't have that rib on the top, any other barrel would do the trick.

Yeah, it's one way to get your name known isn't it? I thought i got it bad, but there was another guy that got done for a dillon 1050 plus accessories, about 2.5k. He keeps saying that it's gonna happen, but i'm not holding my breath. A dood i shoot with, his wife is a customs broker, she is hopefully going to see if she can do something.

Send Brian at goodbuymate.com an email and see if he can post you a barrel.

He is a freight forwarder I have been using with good success.

[Tazza]

Thanks for the lead, i'll send him an email, see if he can help out or not.

[Ausglock]

Dan. He wouldn't get me a Delta Point pro. Said the customs were cracking down.

[Tazza]

Sounds like i might be out of luck, we'll see what had says i guess

[Tazza]

As expected, Brian was unable to assist

[Ausglock]

Bugger...

[dansedgli]

****, he must be backing off. He got me a deltapoint pro about 6 months ago.

[Tazza]

A red dot is a little less restricted than a barrel though, so it does make sense, as sad as it makes me

[dansedgli]

Bummer.

Hopefully he will still to mags and dawson stuff.

Is it ok to coat and let it dry overnight? It will probably get down to 10 degrees tonight.

No problems with leaving it over night. The only thing you must remember is, that coating during drying, and storage of coated cast before baking, can trap moisture especially in cool and humid conditions.
That trapped moisture has to be removed with warm air drying before baking.
If it is cool weather, drying is very slow and coating can seem dry, but it is not.
This is most important to consider with first coat, to get best bonding during bake, by simply warm air dry, and test bake only a few first. If they are OK after bake, then bake the rest that had been warm air dried.

Thankyou. Ill coat tonight then put the fan on them in the morning and cook on my lunch break.

dansedgli,
how did things go with what I suggested?

Excellent results with my HCL-soaked Mystery Alloy right away.

You did a great job.
As we had found, that new Gold is absolutely brilliant. Finish actually looks like Gold metal.
The K-15 looks also great. You now have become the master of coating.

Results of local competition, last week end
our Ausglock (Trevor) scored a perfect 100.
It must have been the Kryptonite Green that gave him Superman Powers.
I inspected his gun today (not cleaned after match), and after 300 plus rounds through it, and bore was shiny and clean
and a bit of powder dust residue was the only thing visible.

dansedgli,

I ended up coating them the next morning instead. Just in case they got too much moisture in them overnight.

I have a convenient system now. I coat 7 trays of 2.5kgs before work and put the fan on them, cooking them at lunchtime. After they cool for 10 minutes or so I recoat and put the fan on them then cook again after work. I do around 2000 each day this way and it is easy.

I won the Tasmanian titles on the weekend using them, beating the current 9 time (or thereabouts) national champ.

I'm going to buy one of Grem460's contraptions to speed up the sizing process and look further into automating the master caster. I need to speed up production.

Congratulations Champ.
The extra drying obviously worked.
Next thing, is a full time production.
Keep it up.

I'm looking to reduce the time taken to make bullets, not increase it.
