MAC'S SHOOTIN' IRONS,LLC
THIS DESERT EAGLE .50AE HAD BEEN STORED IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT AND WAS DEVELOPING SIGNIFICANT SURFACE RUST.
MOST OF THE RUST WAS IN THE CREVICES AND UNDER THE GRIPS.
WE REFINISHED IT WITH OUR SATIN NICKEL PLATE AND TG-1 BLACK.
THIS IS A MASSIVE HANDGUN! HERE'S A COMPARISON PHOTO WITH IT AND A BROWNING HI-POWER

BUT THEY ARE ALMOST NOT RECOGNIZABLE AS THE SAME TWO HANDGUNS.

FINISH PROCESS IN PASSIONATE PINK FOR A VIRGINIA LADY.
THESE TWO PHOTO'S ARE OF MY WIFES H/D SHOTGUN. IT'S AN OLD SEAR'S MODEL WHICH IS REALLY THE MOSSBERG MODEL 500.
THE LIGHT, LASER AND RED DOT SITE MAKE IT READY FOR ALL LIGHT CONDITIONS.
IF THE ELECTRONICS FAIL, THE IRON SITES ARE STILL VISIBLE AND FUNCTIONAL.
THE LASER IS CONTROLLED BY THE RED "THUMB BUTTON" ON THE GRIP.
THE KNOXX RECOIL REDUCING STOCK MAKES THE 12 GUAGE 00 BUCK SHOT EASY FOR HER TO CONTROL.
I WAS UNABLE TO FIND A FOREARM THAT FIT HER SMALL HANDS
SO I MACHINED THIS ONE OUT OF ALUMINUM.
THE BLACK STRIPS ARE NON-SLIP TAPE.
YES, SHE LIKES IT AND IS PRETTY GOOD WITH IT.

MY PERSONAL ONES.

THESE ARE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTO'S OF FIVE LONG GUNS THAT WERE IN A HOME FIRE. THEY WERE NOT HEAT DAMAGED BUT WERE SMOKE DAMAGED AND VERY QUICKLY FLASH RUSTED BY THE STEAM FROM THE FIRE HOSES. FORTUNATELY, THE OWNER GOT THEM TO US FAST ENOUGH SO THAT WERE ABLE TO RESTORE THEM TO A VERY NICE LOOKING AND FUNCTIONAL CONDITION.
NOTE: SMOKE AND WATER DAMAGED
FIREARMS WILL VERY QUICKLY RUST. SOAKING THEM IN A MEDIUM WEIGHT OIL INSIDE
AND OUT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY SLOW DOWN MOST OF THE CORROSION. YOUR HOME OWNERS
INSURANCE WILL COVER THE REPAIR COSTS. MAC'S SHOOTIN' IRONS DOES
DEAL WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES.
THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE FRONT END OF MY SPAS 12. IT WAS COMPLETED IN BLACK AND OD GREEN WITH OUR TG-1 FINISH. THE BARREL EXTENSION WAS "MANUFACTURED" BY ME BECAUSE THE FACTORY EXTENSIONS ARE EITHER NOT AVAILABLE OR INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE.
YES, WE CAN ZERO YOUR RIFLE IN FOR YOU.
A MANUFACTURER OF A GUN FINISH THAT IS VERY POPULAR WITH DO-IT-YOUR-SELFER'S CLAIMS THAT: " WITH THEIR PRODUCT, NO SURFACE PREPARATION IS REQUIRED EXCEPT FOR A GOOD CLEANING". UH-HUH! SURE! THE FINAL PRODUCT DEPENDS 90% ON THE SURFACE PREPARATION. THAT MEANS APPEARANCE, DURABILTY AND RESISTANCE TO ADVERSE CONDITIONS.
NEED
TO KNOW IF THE FINISH WILL WITHSTAND THE DE-ICERS IN AVIATION FUEL?
HOW
ABOUT HYDROCHLORIC ACID? OR MAYBE YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW IF
IT
WILL BE OK TO STORE IT ON YOUR BOAT? WE USE ONLY GUNKOTE FOR
THE
FINAL TOP COAT IN OUR TUFF-GUN FINISH. THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF
THESE
QUESTIONS AND MORE CAN BE EASILY ANSWERED. ASK THAT SAME
QUESTION
OF "THEM" AND SEE WHAT KIND OF ANSWER YOU GET!
THIS FRAME AND SLIDE WERE FINISHED WITH "THEIR"
FINISH PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS.
IS THIS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR
FOR "THEIR" FINISH?
.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
THE FOLLOWING PHOTO'S ARE ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND WILL CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE SLEEP.
DO NOT CONTINUE PAST THIS POINT IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH!
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
THIS SIG WAS REFINISHED BY A CERTIFIED GUNSMITH! AT LEAST, IT SAYS HE'S A CERTIFIED GUNSMITH ON HIS BUSINESS CARD. HE USED "THEIR" FINISH PER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. AT LEAST, HE CLAIMS HE FOLLOWED THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. NOW, I DON'T LIKE "THEIR" FINISH AND WON'T USE IT BUT THIS IS WAY PAST THEIR NORMAL "I LOOKED TO CLOSELY AT IT AND THEIR FINISH FELL OFF". HE ATTEMPED TO DO A TWO TONE WITH TAN AND BLACK. LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PHOTO'S AND SEE IF YOU NOTICE ANYTHING ODD. REMEMBER, HE CLAIMS TO BE A CERTIFIED GUNSMITH. (HINT. LOOK FOR THE PATTERN!!)
HE APPLIED A TWO TONE PATTERN BY MASKING OFF CERTAIN PARTS..WHILE THE PISTOL WAS STILL ASSEMBLED..AND THEN SPRAYED
BLACK OVER THE TAN. YOU CAN SEE THIS REALLY WELL ON THE TRIGGER AND HAMMER. THE GOOPY LOOKING STUFF ON THE TRIGGER AND
HAMMER IS THE FINISH.
HE SPRAYED IT WITH IT STILL ASSEMBLED!
NOTICE THE PATTERN ON THE END OF THE PIN?
SEE THE PATTERN ON THE EXTERNAL SURFACE OF
THE HAMMER RETURN BLOCK? THE BARE SPOTS ON THE BARREL WERE PEELED OFF BY
FINGERNAIL.
THE ARROW IS POINTING TOWARDS THE SEAR.
THE FINISH GLUED IT IN PLACE!!! NOTICE THE BUILT UP CRUD AROUND THE SEAR.
THIS
SO-CALLED GUNSMITH USED RUBBING ALCOHOL
AS THE CLEANING SOLVENT PRIOR TO REFINISHING IT. ALTHOUGH RUBBING ALCOHOL
MAY BE A GOOD SURFACE CLEANER, IT'S NO
GOOD AS A GENERAL CLEANING SOLVENT!
THIS PHOTO OF THE FRAME SHOWS HOW IT WAS
RECEIVED IN OUR SHOP.
YES, HE EVEN SPRAYED UP INSIDE THE BARREL!!!
NOW, LIKE I'VE SAID IT BEFORE: I DON'T LIKE "THEIR" FINISH AND REFUSE TO USE IT! HOWEVER, IN ALL FAIRNESS, THIS AWFUL LOOKING JOB IS THE RESULT OF A HACK PRETENDING TO BE A CERTIFIED GUNSMITH. PER THE CUSTOMER: THE SO-CALLED GUNSMITH TOLD HIM THAT HE DID IT THAT WAY BECAUSE HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE A SIG APART!
THE SINGLE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH ALL SPRAY
ON TYPE FIREARM FINISHES IS THAT IT SEEMS SO EASY. A TOASTER OVEN, SOME
BRAKE CLEANER AND A EIGHT DOLLAR AIRBRUSH IS ALL YOU NEED, RIGHT? PER "THEIR"
FINISH INSTRUCTIONS, YOU DON'T EVEN NEED THE TOASTER OVEN AND DON'T WORRY
ABOUT EXPERIENCE: jUST FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTIONS! THE ABOVE PHOTO'S
SHOW THE RESULT OF THAT.
YES, IT DOES ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
MAC'S
FINISHES ARE TUFF!
TUFF-GUN! THE NAME SAYS IT ALL
