If the MAK90 flats are out by then, I'll be there. I can set you up with my air compressor even if I don't make it.

Welcome back Alex!
excited to try out this Park Recipe from Pat aka Restoreit Quote: Originally Posted by restoreit1 I use metal prep and etch sold in 1 gal amounts at Home depot it is green in color and about 85% phosphoric acid. The manganese can be found in pottery shops and on the net for under $5.00 a pound. I use 2 OZ acid 1 oz manganese 1 gal water So if you need more solution just repeat . I use well water or tap water, heat solution to at least 195 degrees then add 2 steel wool pads (non soap) let cook until pads are dissolved. parts will fizz like hell the longer you cook the blacker parts come out. Then I dunk in water to rinse air dry with compressed air getting all water out of cracks. then spray with wd 40 or any oil preferably wd40 first then dunk in oil . let set for a couple days to set up .

The park we used @ Greg's was BLACK.. It came out a dark grey at first then it turned into a nice black. I probably left my stuff in there for about 20 mins.

The park solution we used at the Canyon country build party was Duracoats blend bought from Midway. Just added steel wool to darken. That stuff works fast and is not sensitive to temp. It's usually done in 10 min. Temp. range can be from 150-200 degrees with 175 being best.
Here's a pic. Top rifle was parked with Pat's mix. Bottom rifle wth Duracoat blend. The problem with parking at a build party is the time. You can't leave parts in for long periods of time. It will slow things down. Also, getting it to, and keeping it at 200 degrees per Pat's instructions will use up precious propane. Good luck with the park, and let me know how it goes.

Of those two, which would you say has better coverage and penetration? Well basically I wanted to see if we can get close to the semi gloss finish that he does, which is this The only experience I have is with the existing BP recipe which is nice but when I put my pistols together I might just reblast and park to get a uniform look. The trouble we were having was keeping the temp up since it was dec and jan. ??**JUNE 26, JUNE 27, JULY 10, JULY 11, JULY 17, JULY 18**??

Also, any suggestions on what flat I should buy? When I <chop>google fu</kick>, the first thing that comes up is Tapco. Should I dig deeper and look for something else, or is this a sufficient flat? What do you guys recommend?

http://www.ak-builder.com/index.php Which flat depends on which parts kit you have. Don't forget the Tapco FCG sale. Use coupon code "G2"....$20 FCG.

The two mixes are about the same. You can experiment prior to the build party, but again for BP's time and temp are your enemies.

Doesn't matter to me, I should be there. Especially if oldyeller kills a boar then I have to be there.
I got my 12 ton press and various dremels and grinders. If you guys want BP tshirts, Andrew can make that happen too.

I don't have a specific dollar amount in mind but I guess if I had to put a number to it I'd say like $400. I hear that's a reasonable amount. Cheaper if possible, but I don't want something that jams every 3rd shot either.

You factor the cost of the parts flat- $20 center support $7 Rivets $10 mag lock $30 After that, you just have to replace 6 of the foreign parts with US made parts. For example this is what I normally do, Tapco Trigger Group (3 parts) $30 Cheap US made slant brake (1 part) $10-15 Receiver (1 part) Pistol Grip (1 part) $10. Parts- $67, US made stuff $50 Add about $120 to whatever parts kit you get then you are there.

So basically I'm looking at building this over the course of a couple months because of shipping times and budgets and what have you. And if I understood you correctly, I should get a Romanian receiver and that would be compatible with whatever Romanian parts kit I get down the road. I'm gonna order one now! |

Either this one with no holes http://www.solartactical.com/product...&categoryId=26 or this one with http://www.solartactical.com/product...&categoryId=26 The ones with holes might line up with the trunnion holes but maybe not. You can find most of the stuff you need on solartactical.com You can always at least buy your flat and attend a bp to bend it and watch others build so you can have an idea of what you are looking at.

Hey guys! Looks like a lot of interest as usual thanks for the welcome backs. I really wish I was still gone
well I was looking at dates and am leaning towards the middle or end of July. I have plenty of bdays and parties to attend on the weekends b4 then. I figure too this will help people who don't have parts to aquire some. So.... July- 17/18? July 24/25? July 31? I'll set a poll later once we narrow down sat/sun.

Bulgarian ones seem to be the cheapest I can find. Are they "too good to be true"? I agree. Frankly, I can get pretty much any day off that I need given enough notice; but the ability for others to point and click would probably streamline the process. |
