Yep that’s right, I sent an email to Dynamic Finishes on a price estimate for my M4gery. I’m saving the cash now b/c it won’t be cheap but I’ve yet to see a weapon w/ their MC finish. I’ve only seen the brain bucket that MM has a review on his site about. I’m wanting to have everything dipped as in rail covers, Aimpoint and all… Basically I asked them the price for everything, how to ship, how to prepare (to keep price down, as I’m assuming it’ll be cheaper if I strip the Krylon off my furniture), etc. I’ll update once I get a reply.
Ya I’m kinda nervous about it but I think it’ll look good once it’s all said and done. Definitely not looking fwd to a 4-6 week wait though. They’ve yet to email me back and being that it’s almost too late now I may just call them tomorrow.
Glad I’m not the only one that thinks so. I’m honestly surprised there haven’t been more done out there but it is somewhat expensive…I already know it’s gonna be at least $200 or so…but it is my baby…this is my hobby…and therefore extra money goes towards it.
I don’t think I ever saw any SHOT pix of a MC rifle. I’d love to see’m if you can point me in the right direction.
Yes, '05 Shot show. I believe this one was painted though, not water transfered.
I’m building a KISS carbine that’s going to be sent off to Dynamic. Just waiting on a couple more parts. I’ll be sure to post it once complete as well.
Wes thanks for the clarification. I figured this rifle was painted and not water transferred b/c it definitely has some distinctions between the two. Can’t wait so see pix of yours when it’s done.
Hey Joseph…I was just shooting that $200 figure off as a guestimate on the fact that I’m sure it’ll be no less than $200 and I agree that it will probably be more…especially w/ all the crap I want to have dipped.
But what’s the point of doing just the rifle and not the accessories when they’ll just cover up the finish anyways .
Wes is going the ideal route w/ a KISS setup…probably keep the cost down. Not sure if you said this before but what design are you going w/?
Impact…you very well could be right. They haven’t got back to me through email and therefore I’m calling tomorrow. Should have an update by early afternoon.
Oh, I’m not going with any design or dipping for that matter. I went down the whole “color my rifle” with Duracoat a few times over and Black is sexy and good enough for me.
I’m not knocking anything or saying anything about the price.
I wish I could afford a few more rifles. At least one iteration would be tan again…
Not to mention the time is now 6-8 weeks. They apparently have to send it to a their gunsmith for disassembly and then 5-6 weeks for the transfer process and then another 3-4 days for reassembly…not including the shipping time.
Eh…maybe when I have money to blow…which will be neverrrrrrr.
So there ya have it if anyone is interested.
If you want a more accurate estimate just call 417-624-0281 to find out as that will take you directly to the person you need to talk to.
MOACKS AR 15 Carrier Key Staker - (top in the image) This goof-proof tool makes it easy to get some real manly stakes on the carrier key, preventing the screws from coming loose. This is one of the most common malfunction-causing problems suffered by these rifles, because for some reason most manufacturers are doing a poor job of it (and in some cases not at all, shame on them). With this tool there is little or no technique required and little or no chance of messing it up, as there is when trying to do it with a hammer and punch. Just tighten the tool’s four screws until they bottom out and you’re ready to go; the formed and hardened screw tips diplace carrier key metal over the carrier key screws. One of my good friends has dubbed this tool “The Mother Of All Carrier Key Stakers” (no royalties for the name are being paid to any dethroned, discredited, deflated, disheveled tyrants). The block also features a bolt tail scraper. The back end of the bolt can get caked with carbon where it is directly exposed to gas tapped from the barrel. It’s bad form to clean this with a wire brush as you might damage or even inadvertently remove a gas ring. Scraping it with whatever tool is handy is not ideal either; you might leave some loosened residue on there and / or stab yourself. This tool makes it easy to do a good job on this hard to clean area and is pretty much impossible to use wrong. Just stick the bolt tail in, push and twist. Finally, there is a tool built in for removing the carbon build up under the firing pin flange-- just stick the firing pin in, push and turn. Comes with three Allen wrenches, 1/8 and 9/64 (carrier key screw socket sizes vary), and a 5/32 for turning in the staking screws. The tool is made from heat-treated 4140 steel, $115 plus shipping.
Well I have heard it’s durable but not park durable. I’m guessing along the same lines as Norrells or Duracoat. Ya I really don’t understand how optics can cost half as much as the rifle and by the time I did the other accessories it would be just as much as the plain jane rifle.
Yep…I’ve used Krylon before but just not on a whole rifle. I did do the frame of my Glock about 8 months ago however and it’s held up great. I think the way the texture is on the frame that it’s helped.
