First batch of cerakoted parts are in the oven for a 2 hour cure time.

That is begging for an optics cut.

Aren’t they all?

^^^and by the way @T-DOGG the pic above is an example of probably the worst cerakote job I’ve ever done. A bit grainy, a bit rough, but the holster wear started almost instantly.
The real thing is I’m not sure why, if it’s an air thing during spraying, or a mix thing, or something else.

It doesn’t bother me really, because it’s mine, and I can fix it if I want, but I’m glad I have no liability with it.

So just write down what you do (I’m horrible at that) and follow their directions.

Can’t wait to see your stuff!

Just finishing up cleaning a 1841 Springfield Musket from the Civil War. It was a conversion from a Flintlock to percussion cap during the war. Mindful Man would appreciate the caliber, .69…….larger than his 50…

Worked in a double entendre there for MM, I see what you did there.

That's a beauty, Chris !

First test run completed. This is blue titanium. Will most likely do another batch of something tomorrow. Not sure what yet.

The slide is a junk slide that I practiced machining on. A metal AR mag and PMag, along with an A2 grip and an extra Tippmann AR grip.

Had one thin spot on the PMag and a run at the nose of the slide. But, that's what practice is for and I haven't used a professional spray gun since high school auto class like 23-24 years ago. I really like this Iwata LPH80 spray gun and found it strangely satisfying to clean it afterwards.

Looks very nice, T-D. Iwata makes a great paint gun.

Thanks! I have a lot to learn, but I have to say I think this was the most fun I've ever had painting. I thought about recording myself next time so I can watch the playback for anything I'm doing wrong.

Well . . . . If you're into that sort of thing.

Anyone herein interested in a Caldwell G2 chronograph and/or a complete Labradar set- up (labradar, tripod, case, battery pack, air trigger, MK Machining sight)?

Good afternoon sitting in the driveway. Pork chops and cutlets for dinner tonight. Poor man's brisket (chuck roast) smoked just cuz. Bacon on now because the coals were still burning.

I don’t want to say I told you so, but…..

Time for some Buffalo Trace and a relax. Shoulders gonna hurt tomorrow since I used the scythe to clear a little brush around my groundhog hole. The whistle pig is my priority tomorrow since I planted broccoli and peas today. Ambush starts around noon and lasts until there's a carcass.

He might not come out tomorrow afternoon. He’ll be messed up with the daylight savings time eclipse.

I am hoping for some rodent confusion. I was thinking he might come out twice with the extra sunset.
