Dura Coat

[davkrat]

I've never applied duracoat but have been considering giving it a try. What do you do about the muzzle? Do you put some cotton in the muzzle to keep any from going down the bore or will the finish be so thin as not to worry about?

I use an old copper bore brush with a patch wrapped around it. If you use a tight fitting brush and put your rod all the way through the barrel, thread the brush on at the action end and then pull it all the way through until about 1/2 of the brush is just starting out of the muzzle, unthread the rod and you have a fairly rigid way to hold the barrel and it's completely blocked. If you just start it from the muzzle they are sometimes very hard to remove unless you push it all the way through and then your spreading all the junk you sprayed down the barrel. I use the same setup when bead blasting and have never had a problem with beads getting in the barrel.

Another alternative is a foam earplug, just remember to push it out with a cleaning rod when you are done!

What type of screw/bolt holds on the recoil pad on the stock?I have dug around in the little holes in it and can't find anything to fit it correctly.Can anyone help with this?

I put the base coat black on last night but the paint on the stock seem's to be brital but on the barrel and action it seems fine.What would make the paint brital? would it be to much hardner?

Also is there a difference in the Dura coat clear dc and the Dura coat tru lube? Which one would be a tougher shell after I have finished the paint job? What would you recommend?
