pm-40 0 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Is it ok to use duracoat on the rails in the receiver, or do I need to tape them ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longhorn 81 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Don't think I would spray anything inside the receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Klassy Kalashnikov 1,393 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Yeah, tape them up. Line the bottom and sides of the receiver on the inside with masking tape. Then make a "roof" over the top of the receiver with masking tape as well. I also used ear plugs to plug the gas port holes and the end of the barrel. You should also just remove the rear sight (very easy, just push down on it with a screwdriver near the hinge) and either make a little cone of masking tape over the front sight, or remove the post as well.

pm-40 0 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks for the input I will tape it up . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shaneman153a 39 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Yeah I did this on my AKS-74 build and it made for some very tight tolerances. Hasn't effected function, but if you ride the bolt it will stick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akastormi 617 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Every DuraCoat job I've done, I've always blown color on the inside of the receiver. Grant it, you don't shoot the chamber or inside the barrel. but AK's and Saiga's are sloppy enough to handle it. Plus, it looks good and with the DuraCoat SL why not. I paint the triggers, pins, sights, even the rear sight leaf. I've painted receivers of shotty's, SKS's, Bolt guns, none with ill effects. Tighter the tolerances, less you blow on.

Deussne 38 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hmm, I always paint inside the reciever. I just make sure my barrel and gas block are all pluged up with some paper towels. I am actually convinced that duracoat makes the bolt slide smoother. As it is a much harder/smoother finish then the crapy paint job the russian factory does. Like I said I always duracoat inside and never have any problems with the *snug fit* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pm-40 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I am leaving the bolt black so it would only be the receiver rails that would get painted . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akastormi 617 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I don't paint the bolts, but the bolt carriers I always paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pm-40 0 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 I don't paint the bolts, but the bolt carriers I always paint. I should have said the bolt carrier will stay black . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vjor 2 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Duracoat all the gun, minus bolt and piston, plug barrel and gas block. As same as blast all the gun minus piston and bolt, plug you barrel and gas block . One think I leave alone is FCG no paint on it and polish the ear of hammer and under the trigger claw to a mirror finish or chrome looking finish. Use rubber or cork plugs.
