new toy
well I was playing at work today while some reports were running (yes I run a desk all day).. stumbled onto an auction site that had a brownell oven for baking on gun finishes. did some of my doodiligents (asked the wife for permission) and figured out what a good price would be (called a gunsmith buddy out of state)... waited for the last 6 minutes (under 5 extends the auction) and booom... I got a oven for baking on finishes..

Re: new toy
Sweet, I just happen to have an uncle in-law that wants me to refinish three of his old guns.  They're all in pretty rough shape.  I haven't done anything like that in about 20 years but I live close to Pine Tech and figured I could just clean and polish then send them down for re-bluing.

Re: new toy
Can you do aluminum with that thing?  The single action 22 pistol I took apart has anodozing that's all worn off on the frame and ejector shroud.

Re: new toy
any metal that can withstand being baked at 350 degrees for 60 minutes can be baked with that brownells oven paint.

Re: new toy
thats a fun little shooter there. I just redid a couple of bolt action shotguns I should post some pics of. turned out nice considering the shape they were in. just need to find a few more rusty relics.

Re: new toy
these last ones I did were rusty and pitted.. had a couple hours in the metal just stripping and buffing out the bad spots. 3 coats of brownells oven paint. (I'm a little dissapointed in the matt black, not as matt as I would like it too be. )

 then the stock depending on minus repairs is a 30minutes to strip... stain the next day, then the next day 2 coats of poly, wet sand, final coat of poly.

easier then I thought it would be
