steel1212 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 If there are enough KY guys interested I'm sure we could sweet talk Chuck into making some money off of us to send/recieave our guns. I have 1.5 that I would like to get done but for 300$ I'll just hardchrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam B Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 In reading about Ionbond (DLC) on other forums, it is stated that although it's almost impervious to wear, rust will occur if an area is left without oil and exposed to the elements.Ryan, any comments as to Ionbond rusting? If it wont wear on anything how can it rust? from what I have seen from my ion bond finish I dont think it will rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont' be ready to send mine out until about Feb though, gotta break it in and it tain't even here yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I'm looking at a feb send in. If I can get enough people together I'll email Chuck to see if he'll do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latewatch Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I'd be in for at least one gun for the Kentucky deal in February. Let me know if it's a go!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singlestack Wonder Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 If it wont wear on anything how can it rust? from what I have seen from my ion bond finish I dont think it will rust. The little tubes that make up the surface finish, if not filled with oil, will offer moisture a direct route to the underlying metal. Although it will take a while, if the surface is not kept oiled and the metal is exposed to body oils, moisture, etc., it will eventually rust.

tewlman Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I had my pistol and all my mags coated with Ionbond last year, it has performed exceptionally well. I will be sending a batch of titanium bolt carriers to Ionbond in the next week or two. anyone that would like to save a little money can send me their guns or parts and i will add them to my batch. please Pm me for further details. if i get more than 10 pistols the savings improve. Could be a good Christmas present... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMV Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 By my count that's three in the Ky area for a Feb send in. Me, Steel1212, and latewatch. Seven more and we can get them done for less than $200 ea. I will mention the idea to Chuck and see if he is willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Steve is willing to do it now but that is a little bit of short notice. If it comes around to feb I might send in 2.5 guns to be done, all depends on how I feel or how many we need to make the 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97TexasAggie Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Well, I just got 2 more guns back from IonBond today. My open gun and a single stack. The single stack frame was done in the new Flat Dark Earth. I was originally concerned that I'd have too much brown with the grips I bought from Mil Tac, but I think it looks awesome! The color of the grips matches the FDE perfectly. I'll be at the range tomorrow burning up some ammo. Thanks again to Ryan for doing great work! You and Darrell are awesome.

Jim Norman Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Who all is handling ionbond? how does one get in contact directly, or do you have to go through a smith/ffl? I know millenium does, but any others in the northeast? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerosigns Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Glad to finally see a way to contact IonBond. Taran website just takes you to the Corporate site. When I called them they didn't know what I was talking about, but the rep said HE was interested in having his gun done. But he didn't know how to make it happen. So now that we have access to the real deal. I have a Springfield XD that I would like to have the slide done on. What does a slide cost? Can you change from blued to some type of silver, stainless, chrome, etc. color? Have only heard good things so I can't wait to try it out.

aerosigns Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks, the number is also the post just above mine. I was hoping to hear from anyone who might have sent in just the slide. Otherwise I plan to call Ryan tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerosigns Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Spoke with Ryan the other day. Very friendly and explained the process of having work done, to me. A slide alone runs $50. That includes having the sights done also, if the shooter wants them done. Ryan said he will remove the sights either way, you just need to let him know if they are to be bonded as well. If they are FO either you can remove the FO or he will, but you will not get the rods back of course. Colors available were black, parkerized grey, silver, and desert tan. I asked about doing small parts like the flash suppressor on my AR's. He said parts like that would run $5. Now I just can't make up my mind on the color I want my XD slide and sights done in.

Lexor40cal Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 If you want a real opinion on ION Bond finishing speak to Derek Janowitz of Millenium Custom, I think you will get a good vendors response to ION Bond versus other finishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocx Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 So far, it is the toughest finish out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecichlid Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 That does it. LOL Next summer when I go on vacation I will have to send my gun or at least the slide and mags in to be done. I can't do it sooner because, well because I just can't go that long without shooting. LOL Joe W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
