weaver77 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 why? looks? easier to use? the dura bake is a little easier to use as you dont have to preheat the metal but it does not dry verry fast if ever and is hard to handle trying to get it i the oven because it will still smear the kg gun kote is easier to apply once you have preheated the metal it sticks better and starts dying immediatly and is less prone to run in just a few miniutes you can handle it with latex gloves and get it in the oven i try not to touch it untill its cured but it seems you always bump it a little trying to get it in the oven and the bumps show in the dura bake they dont in the kg gun kote so for my money im using the kg gun kote if you ment dura coat that stuff takes to long to cure something like 21 days to fully harden weaver77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Best I can tell from the pictures the finish looks pretty good to me but now you've sparked my curiosity looking for all the details of you project. What kind/brand of barrel, stock and what are your plans for scope,sights trigger etc ?? Shot it yet?? I have to admit to being guilty of shooting a few long before the scope or sights were mounted, mainly to just get a look at the expended brass to see if the headspace looks good but really just to feel good after it goes bang.

weaver77 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 A barrel lapping tutorial would be a great contribution too.... (aren't we demanding)? yes you are and you may have to wait a while before i use a barrel that needs lapping well its more of a polishing technique to slick barrel up alittle actual lead lapping is more than i am set up to do i am still working in my garage and running over to a couple of buddies to get on their lathes but my shop is in the works just waiting on this years tax return thanks to our "superior" goverment representation and the ecconomic growth tax reimbursment the slab will get poured late spring early summer then i can start gathering all my equipment back up and set everthing up in my dedicated gun room i may even splurge and replace my old welder with a tig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
