[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help Duracoating a SBR

Posted: 12/24/2010 7:39:09 AM EDT

I just built my first sbr ar and now I want to duracoat it. My question is: Will the Duracoat effect my engraving? Will the layers of duracoat fill the engraving? Will the engraving still be legible?

thanks

I have never used Duracoat, but I have used Molyresin and Ive got to think they are a like and very thin. Maybe someone with Duracoat exp will chime in.

Duracoat shouldn't fill in your engravings. It goes on very thin.

I've Duracoated about a dozen rifles. It does go on thin if applied as per the instructions. I have no problem with my engraving getting filled in.

Saw an item tonight finished in Duracoat ceramic. Goes on a lot thicker than standard Dura. Engraving is still visible. Is it to the depth required by the ATF? I don't know. I'd say standard Dura is safe though.

Light scratches will show thru Dura Coat. Make sure you do your prep work.
