Started a thread a couple weeks back with a teaser pic with some moly resin. So here is the final results!!



Did the inside with stainless steel moly resin. Makes it a little easier putting the damn thing back together.


trigger group back together





S12 with my bushmaster AR. Went with matching PG's because they had American flag patterns on them so before all of AR haters step in kiss my ass!!!



Little better close up of the color.




So here is the list for the S12:
sandblasted with 70 grit aluminum oxide
spray with OD green, Stainless and flat black moly resin using airbrush
CSS puck
MD arms adjustble gas knob
raptor stock (CSS)
tapco trigger
welded on full size monster brake
polished and profiled carrier by C&S metal werks
P.O.S. handguard soon to be replaced with bonesteel or chaos tri-rail
ace ar grip adapter
Strike industries PG

Thanks to the forum for all of there great info!!!

Great job making something new and different!! Nice for a change...

You put moly resin on the internals? That might slow things down, like molasses. Looks good, though.

[TIMTIMTIM]

The moly resin is thin enough to where it shouodnt cause any problems I didn't put it on anything except the rails on the inside of the gun.

[Yeoldetool]

If your gun won't cycle, look at the rails first and any other contact points where you put the resin. In the picture it looks like you coated the bolt guide block in front of the hammer, too.

Any range report?

I have experience with this. Some asshat decided he would go the extra mile duracoating a fiend's Saiga 12. He got it everywhere, even in the chamber. Take the finish off of the rails and make sure it isn't on the surfaces that make contact with the lugs on the bolt. In a nutshell, remove it from any friction surface, including the inside of the barrel hood or chamber.

Haven't had a chance to hit the range yet. Work and school have been in the way. Going to try and go Monday. I'm not super worried about the paint being on the rails and such. One of the the main reasons I went with moly resin was because it is supposed to be thin enough and hold lubricant on moving parts without any issues.

Uh oh. I just coated my 12 inside and out with pickup bed liner, figuring it would then be as tough as a pickup bed. You think I may have a few cycling issues?

BWAHAHAHA..... Have fun with that! (I know better.)

Bedliner materials are a different bird altogether. Incidentally, all commercially available bedliner formulas have a built in super slick lubricant (KY2) that will bleed from the finish as the part becomes warmer than 85 degrees and when friction is created by two surfaces rubbing against one another. Bedliner is GTG and it has been found that the lubricating properties increase with the thickness at which it is applied. For superior results on firearm applications, a hot dipping process that is done with the firearm fully assembled is recommended. The fully assembled hot dip process must be done 4 times, allowing to reach room temperature between each dip, and before attempting to move any parts. Any premature moving of parts will reduce the lubricating properties of the KY2. The finish will appear to be very thick, but this is actually due to material expansion that is a result of the high temp dip process. Between 24 and 48 hours after the last dip, the finish will contract and become .0000001" thick.

Range report: shot 15 slugs, 2 ftes due to the gas being completely shut. Shot 15 Winchester super X 1 ftf due to stupid surefire mag.

Nice!

My Saiga and my Mustang are both "Finally Done! (Almost)!" Constantly!

How's it do with cheap stuff, 100 packs from walmart? Looking for follow-ups here......

there's nothing more durable than fully coating the inside of your barrel with bed liner. make sure you double coat the bolt, carrier and spring too.
