| I'm interested in purchasing some gear for refinishing my builds. I know that some of you bead blast your rifles as part of the refinishing process. Any gear recommendations? I was leaning toward the bench top blasting cabinet from Harbor Freight. Is anyone using this? Anyone have any recommendations on an air compressor etc? Any advice is appreciated, thanks. |
| I have the red benchtop one think it is the biggest bench top one and it works pretty well I can even fit a barreled receiver in it which is kind of handy if you figure out you need to do touch up at the end. I think my compressor is 15 gal or something like that from sears it gets the job done however it works hard to do it. I would say the bigger the compressor the better if you get a tiny one you could be waiting all day long as blasting uses lots of air. I use 80-90 grit Aluminum Oxide and that seems to do fairly well. If you are blasting something serial numbered go careful in that area.... |
