Wow...I must ask the dumbest fuckin questions in the world.
I see people ask about their boogers and get 200 replies in one day. I've asked two about build issues and can't get a "go screw yourself" reply |

I had to premattach a YHM-28 flash suppressor to a 14.5" bm hbar, I used the molyresin socom black
and it has held up well I see no signs of premature ware on the finish, although I only have 500rds through the FS, but it seem to work for me. I hope this helps

I've probably put a couple thousand through my old A2 flash hider before upgrading to a phantom. It held up fine, no flaking, excess wear, etc. Norrell's works good on barrels too. MJD

Well, I won't go that far but.... Why the HELL do you want to refinish a flash hider?

I just reblue mine when the park wears off. |

I'll bite. As in an earlier post, he may need to drill/pin/weld a FS to a short bbl. to make it legal length. I've had to do it just because of finish wear on an earlier build, but the whole barrel needed to be refinished. |

Maybe he's doing the whole barrel in coyote brown, or an older Colt color or whatever.
I have not tried it yet though, sorry. |

I was thinking of finishing it in tan......Purefly for looks
I know....I know....it's a tool, who cares what it looks like. I have a workhorse M4gery that gets nothing in the way of color, I'm building this one for fun. Trying to kick around ideas that I haven't seen before, that's all. |

By the way, thanks for the replies guys. I was beginning to think I was blackballed around here for some reason.

In tan? It'll look like hell after one trip to the range won't it? The carbon on the flash hider is hard as hell too! |

It might. That's why I was asking. I would think that if the finish will withstand the abuse from the muzzle, the carbon deposits wouldn't be too tough to get off considering the lubrication properties of the finish but I could very easily be wrong (wouldn't be the first time). That's why I was curious if anyone had tried it before.
I'm not sure I'm going to try it but if I do and it doesn't work, new flash supressors are pretty cheap. |

How do you prep it if it is parked metal with the parkerizing about 30% worn off? |

I'd guess a quick bead blasting would do the trick. |

No, no, no. Bead blasting is the wrong action. Sand blasting, NOT bead blasting. Bead blasting creates a slick surface that the Norrells will not adhere to as well. |

I don't have a sand blaster at my disposal. I suppose a thorough degreasing and fine steel wool would not yield good results? I guess that would polish too. |

I would just spray it, it sounds like it is in good enough shape. The worst that happens is that you take it to get blasted some day when you find someone who has one.

What kind of media do you use to blast with and at what PSI? I saw a guy ruin a 70 series Colt with a sandblaster. He thought he would save some money in preping before we did the blue. The holes and rails were blasted way out spec. Could you be more specific on the media and pressure? |

Norell's recommends 90 grit aluminum oxide media. I use it at around 45-50 psi (for steel) and it doesn't beat up the steel too bad.
