bigsaxdog Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 built a caspian longslide a few months ago for L-10. shoots great, runs like a scalded dog! still in the white, can't decide whether to have it finished or just leave it as is. i've been sweating on it, and no problem with any corrosion, i clean it regularly, keep it pretty greasy. have a contact with a guy that does aluminum nitride plating, and i'm thinking of it. anybody done it? sounds like the shizzit from what i've heard. or should i just save my money and leave a good thing be.......

kurtm Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Do you mean Titanium nitride?? I have never heared of Aluminum nitride as a finish. What color does it look like when done?? KURTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral404 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I think Sandy Strayer at SVI has used Aluminum nitride. If it is the same stuff I saw on a pistol: The gun was very dark in color. I heard that it does require more lube/oil. Additionally, it can chip. It is very very hard! You might ask Sandy. It looked awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsaxdog Posted February 17, 2004 Author Share Posted February 17, 2004 i read on some industrial plating website that the stuff had more lubricity than titanium nitride or hard chrome, so that it would be even slicker. the way the gun is now in the white, the slide really feels slick, really smooth. i just don't wanna lose that. i'm really leaning towards leaving well enough alone.....

Interceptor Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Will SVI plate any barrels with Titanium Nitride, to get that gold finish, even STI barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Does anyone know who does Titanium Nitride finishing?? I saw an all gold gun at the Arkansas 3-gun and it sure looked cool, not shinny but a nice subdued gold. KURTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBChaffin Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I posted a couple links in this thread. I know Brycoat has done complete guns. If you need a dealer, try Checkmate as they will prepare and send guns to Brycoat for Ti Nitriding. Bryant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
