Mirage

I had thought about this, but the ring the front sight is on is only .065 thick, so I didn't think it would be possible or the cost would be astronomical.

Thanks, I think the bake on Cerakote, or IonBonding are the only things that are goin to work. The heat coloring is a great improvement, but it is a gray color. It kept my sight from washing out like it usually does as the paint wears away.

[/URL] I heat colored the Front sight in case the high temperature bbq. paint rubs off I hope the gray color will keep the front sight from washing out in the bright sun. Image of heat colored stainless steel front sight Image is a little blurry

Sight Black rubs right off.

No, I haven't. That would be worth a try. The heat could be the reason the paint doesn't last. Or, it may be that I need a rougher surface on the sight and primer to get the grip for the paint to stay on better. I did clean with Acetone and prime once, but it didn't seem to last any longer than when I just reapply enamel paint.

Wrong on the nail polish assumption. I will give that a try.

I have to agree that I will not find flat black in nail polish. I had thought about trying to heat anodize the sight to a blue color. I would have to heat the sight to 550 F. The Anodize would have a shine to it though. It might show up better than the silver as the paint rubs off.

http:// I have to repaint before every match. Heaven forbid I need it for self defense.

Ok Thanks Guess I will go nail polish shopping and see if that is any more durable.

I have a Beretta 92 FS that has the front sight that is part of the slide. The rear sight is in a dovetail in the slide. The sights are stainless steel, with dimples drilled in them. I paint the dimples white and the sights black, this gives me a great sight picture. Unfortunately the paint rubs off very quickly. If I could keep the top edges of the front sight black that would be great. The last and best so far has been high temperature automotive paint. I was thinking of using ceracoat next, but it didn't look like they have it in flat black, plus I don't know if it is any more durable. The more expensive route would be to have the slide and rear sight Ion-bond coated. I am fine with the slide being natural stainless steel finish, but since the front sight is part of the slide I don't know if they could do the Ion-bond on just the sight. Any suggestions?

How about a 50 round hopper like a paintball gun. No reloading

I don't want to thread jack, but I have a Storm lake 9mm conversion barrel for my G24c. It groups almost 6" right of where the factory G 24c .40 barrel groups at approximately 25 yards. Anyone else experience anything that drastic with switch barrels?

I own a G24c. I have a problem with the comp blast coating the white dot on my front sight with carbon and in a few rounds I have no dot to aim with. I am much slower using just a black front sight. I would like to solve this problem. Love the gun.

Remington A7's are Browning A5 copies. and they sell for much less than a Browning. My son owns one and after seeing this thread I think it may be the cheap way for him to try 3 gun.

I am suprised that there seems to be no interest. I am going to try a calguns thread and see if guys there would be interested. Ron W.
