The front end was stripped and reblued. The whole barrel was done. That came out very good. I don't think the pictures do justice.   The spike folder was installed and aligned then drilled.  I even reblued the bolt  Just sharing some home projects, hope you like em. |
| Looked kinda naked without the FSB but turned out great... got one of the FSB's from the spot we talked about in the other post but mine is in the white looks sandblasted..did you have to polish yours or did it come already finished??? The spike bayo. that came with mine is different than the ones on my Polys, the mounting point isn't hook shaped but solid with the a hole in it, once in place you wouldn't be able to remove it without trashing the rivet...which one is correct for the type 56 project with milled reciever I've got going on?? |

Mine came blue already. but had some dings and rust spots on it, so I reworked the metal and reblued it to match the barrel. If yours came in the white, then I would polish it and blue it. The hard part is to put it on and drill all the holes without scratching it. My Bayo is the non-hook type also. I believe there where two types but I dnon't know what ones went on what guns... I forgot where I saw a dealer selling just the bayo and pin for like 5.00 and I can't recall if they where hooked or not. I'm gonna search that one out again. |

The solution is a bit of a Mystery because I got from and old friend who was a dealer for a VERY long time. When he gave up the business he gave me 3 gallons of this stuff along with a TOP SECRET recipe. He also gave me some old RUST buing solution. Thats a real pain in the ass to use. I believe the solution is an older Brownels solution. I've done my Thompson with this stuff and I think it's really great stuff, to bad I really don't know what manufacture is on the solution.   This is a older Pic. It's been modified since. It's got all the Bells and Whistles.

This stuff is like an acid. Leave it in the solution to long and it will disappear completely!!! I put a FAL mag in once for to long and it looked like swiss cheese  . This stuff is just as durable a hot bluing IMHO. I use it on my clips,mags and drums too. I agree about todays cold bluing, it just rubs off in your hands. The spike info I've been reading on doesn't say clearly what was used for what rifle. Read some of this. SPIKER |

Where did that come from?? Grow up?? I was just wondering why the big secret of why you can't disclose where you got it. I am sure there are more than three spikers on the market right now anyways. I am not paying ~$200 for the assembly. I'd rather buy a complete/original rifle than convert a mak-90 anyways. Is your rifle 922 compliant now or is that a big secret too?? |

That looks nice, especially the bluing. I have a preban Poly UF, and was given a NIB Mak years ago, so I will de-ban the Mak and add the bayo like yours. Just can't swing the $$$ for the front yet. I found furniture last week. One thing at a time.... Still need to thread my muzzle too. |
