VanKiller 322 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 A little something extra I've started doing. Modified Tapco FCG Hard chromed hammer and trigger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PinkFloyd 63 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 What's the point? Does it just slick everything up or does it serve a purpose other than looking good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Will these be availible as stand-alone parts or just with the purchase of a conversion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 These will be installed in one of the Tom Cole Signature Series lines, and Im sure will be an option on regular conversions as well. None are available to the public for individual purchase at this time. Oh, there is a purpose to them, alright. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vjor 2 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) You guys want to really smooth the trigger pull and rust proof the FCG on one shot ? Plus extending life of for ever on the parts? Edited April 7, 2010 by vjor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 You guys want to really smooth the trigger pull and rust proof the FCG on one shot ? Plus extending life of for ever on the parts? you got it brother....the latter of what you said is the main object. This is something Tom and I have been discussing and trying to figure out the final details on for over two years now, and is finally coming into reality. The last major hitch was figured out about 4 or 5 months ago, and Tom has decided to move ahead with this particular line. We will give more details in the coming weeks...

elia.jon1 1 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 b, does this counter the "wear" when reshaped? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saigafreake 27 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 will this cause more wear on the tail end of the bolt do to it being harder than a standard fcg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Relative hardness of two sliding parts has less to do with wear then you might think. The finish (polish) is a large factor, as well as the metallurgic compatibility - stainless likes to gall - or transfer metal, chrome is good for it's stability - it doesn't transfer metal with steel when in sliding contact. Also chrome provides protection from surface rust (rust is both abrasive AND corrosive, as well as hydrophilic), and the hardness resists abrasion (the enemy of finish) rust and abrasion = accelerated wear. If you don't like chrome you could polish and Tuff-Tride the parts (an industrial process that surface hardens steel into iron nitride ) almost as hard but not as corrosion resistant.TiN (titanium nitride) would be very good too.

tsc91 9 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Rust proof and probably slicker than snot. Good idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
