A few weeks ago, I finally got set up to do my own blasting, so have been Cerakoting some of my guns, as I've wanted to do that to some of them for a while. Last week I finished my Bisley Blackhawk .45 and blued Mini-30 in Sniper Grey Cerakote. Besides the obvious protection the finish offers, I thought the Sniper Grey color would make the Mini-30 look like more of a Parkerized finish to go along with the Mini-- M14/M1A look.
The Bisley is my trail gun for the mountains, now it is well protected from the elements, but looks a bit plain being all dark grey matte, so I plan to re-blast the cylinder, trigger, hammer and ejector rod and re-finish them in Burnt Bronze, to give it some contrast.
On Friday, I finished my M700 .308, M870 tactical, and the slide of my Rock Island 1911 in .22 TCM in a Coyote Tan. Both Remington's had O.D. Green stocks, and the RIA came had come in an O.D. Green Duracoat, so I thought the Coyote Tan would give some contrast. All the parts on those three that are still black will be finished eventually in O.D. Green Cerakote as well.
I had to take all of the guns I've finished out to the range yesterday to re-zero them, as the sights were taken off for the spraying and oven cure. I had so many to pack into the truck, I did not take the M700 this outing, so no pics of it.
I want to do the black/stainless Mini-30 in a light grey/dark grey combo, I'll blast the Ruger synthetic stock and paint it light grey, and do all the stainless parts in dark grey.
