keith524 25 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hey guys i was wondering if anyone has ever sandblasted there rifles to refinsh tem.. mine came with the crappiest finish ever.

Fallschirmjager667 729 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 yes, every one is pretty similar to that, and i think most professional refinishers sand blast the gun before painting or parkerizing it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob-cubed 74 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Sandblasting is the way to go and it won't take much to get the paint off. Though frankly just paint stripper or denat alcohol will remove the paint pretty effectively as well. I would strongly recommend parkerizing and then painting, the park is a great base.

I usually use 80 grit aluminum oxide-->parkerize-->Brownells baking lacquer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
