Painted/cured till 3 am last night. Reassembled this morning. And my son helped with me. Used the brass hammer, punches, and screwdrivers to work on his then insisted I took pictures afterward while doing mine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk

That looks like the wife's vacuum about an hour after me saying "naw hunny, I'm sure I can figure out what's wrong, its just a vacuum, just trust me." On the plus side she love her brand new vacuum she got to buy afterwards. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk

Re: what did you do in your garage today? lol, not much too it. Prep work is 90% of it. aluminum oxide blast is supposed to yield best results, but i dont know anyone with that ability. If your firearm is parkerized you dont have to anyways, parkerized finishes LOVE duracoat so long as you...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Stripped a 1911 down to its bits and pieces. Running through the ultrasonic cleaner and hoping to start duracoating tomorrow.

Talk about setting up guys for failure! 25% off on Easter Sunday? I had to pull some serious BS out of my rear to get the wife not tear my head off for this trip. Her sister locked herself out of her house. Instead of having her BF come over I volunteered to run out and assist. I had to enter...

That would make the "hit the button and run" mad dash interesting (c'mon, i know you've all done it).

Go to your local base/post DRMO office and score some super cheap metal lockers or shelving. I got several metal shelf units for my neighbor for $10/each. They were worth more then that in scrap metal, they weiged a ton. They looked like ****, but were solid as a brick **** house.

Re: what did you do in your garage today? Molded more Kydex. Phone mount and vehicle specific mount for my truck much like proclip but cost me $5 in Kydex and an hour of work rather then $100 for the actual proclip. Molded a new front half for my crossbreed holster. Cleaned about 1K brass in...
