I am rebarreling my AR. What is the best way to coat a stainless steel barrel to look original. Who can preform the process? And how well does it hold up? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, James |

We did exactly this... had a stainless barreled Armalite AR10. Sent the whole upper to Olympic Arms to be "black oxided". They did the disassembly and reassembly. The barrel came back a perfect match to the upper receiver, a flat black. I have other Oly SS barrels that were factory "black oxided" and the finish is durable. Another option is to have it black tefloned by Birdsong Associates or Lauer's finish (actually a baked on paint). Personally, I would email Tom at Olympic, and arrange to send your whole upper to him for their black oxide. |

Another great finish is KG Gunkote. It an awesome finish with a variety colors and textures to choose. It's excellent for extreme hightemp and it self lubricats. Check out the website:[url]http://www.kgcoatings.com/gun-kote/[/url] Black oxide is OK, but wears down to easy. LS |
