As to the stock, On my Richards, I used the Truoil kit and am very happy with the results. It comes with the instructions. Be prepared to do a lot of sanding, but you will love the results.

I've never been a big fan of this finish, peels too easy. Remember, teflon is used to make the outside surface of thing slick. As for stock finish, I prefer the Danish tongue oil. to Casey's, and it's much easier to work with.

A lot more impervious to the elements than a standard bluing job.

The center bubbled and ruined the thing. The steaks were still good . I now reach for my well-seasoned cast iron without fail. I think of a well-seasoned cast iron pan as essentially rust blued. It's impervious to everything, including a good scrubbing which I discourage but am not around all the time to prevent.

It looked great for a year or so but soon the bolt knob was peeled bare. What really did it for me was when i peeled the electricials tape off the muzzle and the teflon came with it. I ended up wire brushing the telfon off. It was the only way I could get it off. Next step - rust blueing. horsefly 1 Posts: 1124 (6/11/05 4:44) Reply Re:teflon coating -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Claytonfaulkner,I'm glad you ask this question about teflon,because it's something I've wondered about myself and now am convinced it's something I'll not mess with.Jerry fritz The Gentleman Farmer Posts: 580 (6/11/05 19:24) Reply Re: Re:teflon coating -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I still say you can't beat a good old-fashioned hot bluing job. It has been around so long now that it has stood the test of time, but then they didn't have teflon in those "old days". If folks would just clean their guns before storing them, it will be good for generations. fritz "It seems like yesterday, but it was long ago---we were young and strong and running against the wind" Sailormilan2 1 Posts: 813 (6/11/05 23:31) Reply Re: Re:teflon coating -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have used the KG Coating spray on/bake on paint for several guns. Before I bought them I asked Customer Service at KG Coatings which was harder. Their response was that the Teflon based paint was the softest, with the Moly based next up the ladder, and the Boron (Stainless Steel colored) based paint the hardest. donmarkey 1 Posts: 33 (6/12/05 6:34) Reply Re: Re:teflon coating -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It softer because of it's lubricating properties.

The poster also quoted prices and ordering info IIRC. I sure wish those old threads would be found & restored!

The good thing is is that people are still posting and the knowledge base will be restored in time - if FC hasn't been terminally frustrated with all his wasted time. Another good thing is that the system seems to be running smoother. But I betcha once the knowledge accumulates to it's former level that the system will bog down again. Maybe Oliver Stone would suspect that the mysterious hacker was hardboards just trying to postpone upgrading hardware.

Seems to be very hard and smooth, I like it. Not as dark as the finish on the Ruger SS guns.

Love that look and have 2 projects I am working on that I want to do with that finish. Where do you buy it? I have an airbrush and and an adjustable full size sprayer and am building an oven so I need to go ahead and order some paint. Is there anything else I need? I am going to bead blast the metal before application. What do you use to block off the inside of the receiver when you do yours? Any tips you would be willing to pass along from your experiences?

Second rifle is a 35 Whelen with the KG Coatings Brushed Stainless Finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
