Sandblasting

[MrWilkey81]

I need an AR lower and hand guard sandblasted? Who can do this for me in the NW Ga area?

Aren't those parts aluminum? Baking soda, or glass bead media would be less damaging to the finish. What are you removing, paint?

 

[MrWilkey81]

I assume it's cerakote. It's the factory finish on a Diamondback AR. Yes it is aluminum.

There is a place called Steel Materials Inc. near the corner of Douthit Ferry and 113 in Cartersville that has a sign saying they do blasting. May be worth a look since they are local to you.
(I may have the name wrong but you cant miss the sign on the building advertising blasting work.)

@FatAlbert might be able to advise you on this topic best. I would think anyone that does coatings, would have equipment to remove existing coatings.

Are you going to cerakote again, or another finish?

Be careful with serialized gun parts! For example a non federally licensed machinist who accepts a firearm to turn on a lathe or cut a groove to accept a rail. Same goes for hydro dipping. By accepting the weapon they have violated the law

Unless you stay there for the entire process..

@Nonliberal @ Dobbs Defense (Dallas) does cerakoting, maybe he can advise.
