Duracoat - Smith & Wesson 2nd Generation 459 9mm Pistol

Almost 2 years ago a retiree from the local police force wanted to have his service pistol, a 2nd Gen S&W 459 9mm pistol, cleaned up ...... he asked me to do what I felt would clean it up after its use on the force .....

As you can see I went with:

• Duracoat Dual-Finish

 

• Detail-strip and replacement of worn parts

AR15 9mm conversion bolt repair - Brushing technique for AR-15 9mm Conversion bolt

A client came to me with a 9mm conversion upper with magwell adapter for STEN mags, complete upper and conversion bolt. 

The 9mm conversion bolt uses a return spring combined with a modified AR15 firing pin.

But the 9mm conversion bolt had some spiderweb cracks on the boltface due to  failure of the return spring.

I was able to fabricate a brand new firing pin and spring to replace the worn parts.

And instead of needing a brand new bolt of at least $350.00, I was able to brush / brushing the firing pin channel:

BRUSHING invloves: 

• drilling out Firing Pin Channel

• threading in a Hardened Steel Rod

• re-drilling Firing Pin Channel into the Threaded Steel Rod

A final modification was ramped / ramping the bottom of the 9mm AR Bolt to allow use of Standard AR15 Lower Parts ..... especially the stock AR15 hammer

Latest Duracoat Projects - AR10

I recently received orders for 2  AR10 platform builds per the client's specs. 

Each system's optic was zeroed at 100 yards.   

Differing patterns were chosen due to operating environment requirements.

FEG AP7 rebuild and Duracoat for CCW

FEG AP-7 .32acp / 7.65mm detail strip, worn parts replacement, fluff & buff, Duracoat & restoration per client CCW specifications. 

Bulldog Enfield / Tanker Enfield based on the Ishapore Enfield / SMLE

I completed a few months ago for a client that wanted a variation of the 1990's Bulldog / Tanker Enfield rifle build, based on the Ishapore 7.62x51 NATO Enfield SMLE rifle.

Previous Projects up to 2010-August
