[QUOTE="41mag, post: 82027, member: 3804"] Ok TRoutslayer, here is what I got frm my ol bud Gowge. I figured that if anyone had some ideas about what your looking into it would be him. He has been in and around the net, guns and fishing reel improvements for years. So here is what he sent me, OK - on powdercoating and guns, there's a problem with trying to do the finish at home. It's the size of the parts for the most part. Far easier, is to use one of Brownell's aerosol "Oven Bake" sprays and then bake the part(s) in the oven to cure them - one hour @ 300*F.
