Duracoat….Talon and Crosman on its way to Yellow Ninja….

“DuraCoat is a hard polymer thats self lubricating to a certin extent; extremely hard, oil, solvent, and wear resistant. It resists 100 inch pounds of direct impact and 80 inch pounds of reverse impact. Its pencil hardness runs H to 2H. DuraCoat has passed a 300 hr salt spray test, which far exceeds military requirements for firearms finishes. Major manufacturers such as DSA utilize DuraCoat finishes on their rifles. DuraCoat has proven to hold up extremely well under field conditions. Even on parts such as FAL bolts, which are subject to significant abrasion as the bolt cycles, DuraCoat has held up well and proven to be extremely durable.” -larsontactical-

I have always wanted some of my guns Duracoated. Ever since I found out about it I had planed to have some parts done. When I make something on the mill or lathe getting it anodize can be a pain since it is only a couple of parts. Painting has been an option as well as bedliner. But both will and do chip. Sure they are easy to repair but Duracoat will give a better finish and does not chip and is permanent.

So when Yellow Ninja announced he was going to start a Duracoat service I jumped on it. So I made contacted him and he was more then helpful in taking care of it for me. He is going to Duracoat a Crosman 2240 as well as my trigger guard, grip and butt plate for my talon. I will give you a full review and report on how it turned out and post some picts as soon as the parts are done.

If you are tired of painting shrouds or polished aluminum on your guns then have them Duracoated while you can and he smartens up!
