I just picked up a used GemTech Bi-lock flash hider/QD suppressor mount & the finish is a little rough. Lots of silver showing. It is a solid piece of workmanship, though! I wanted to have it refinished prior to having it permantly attached to my 14.5" M4 barrel. I don't have the facilities to do it myself. Any good gunsmiths or refinishers recommended? It could be parkarized or dura/lauer coated. It doesn't matter to me, I just want it black like my rifle. All advice, info or leads are greatly appreciated! Robert |

You can easily do it youself (using material from your local gun supply, or Wal-Mart). The BiLock is steel and reacts to any commercial gun-blueing product. Follow the istructions on the container. Just make sure it's clean (free of carbon, oil and grease)...it'll look like new in about 15 minutes worth of effort. |
If you must refinish it, get a Birchwood Casey touch up pen and have at it.
That would make it about as good as it could get. Parking first, before a finish is applied, makes for a fantastic finish. Of course you already know that, which is why you posted it.

As long as parkerizing plus whatever norrell's is don't add so much thickness as to affect the it's functionality as a QD mount. |

Umm. Just "Blue" it.  Each time I come back from the range...I clean and degrease my equipment. If the wear is bothering me, I put gun blue on a rag and wipe over the exposed area (gun black works great too). Oil it up..and it looks brand new. It's not aluminum like a receiver...I really don't see the point in a molycoat. |
