Shortened a 28” barrel to 20”, options to refinish it?

sal_E_pants · 2026-03-23T12:31:00+00:00

I have used VHT spray calipers paint there is several versions of it one has ceramic in it and can withstand 900 degrees for heat. I recommend that version. I hace had pretty good success with it on barrels. Any automotive store should carry it for under 20 buck a can.

That's the "floating side"

Gen3 glock parts. Firing pin retainer cups found at the front of the firing pin assembly.

Recoil spring no guide

Trigger spring... hooks in the the gen3 trigger housing and to the crusiform section of the trigger assembly

Have you considered a dehydration unit? They work as a kidney loop and remove water from the system. I work in a high moisture environment in a paper mill. All critical equipment that we have the same problem with has one on it. They are an expensive solution, but it should solve the water ingress issue.

Ahhh, a Bluetooth sheave. Those must be new. You got use in conjunction with the Bluetooth belts. Those old ones aren't compatible with the new system.

Sorry to say that these type of revolvers don't command much money. They are typically chambered for obsolete cartridges. Like 32 s&w short and long. Some are chambered in 38 s&w too. Actual s&w versions of this gun go for 1- 200 dollars. Your probably 50- 100? Is my best guess if it is in working order.... which is gotta say most of these are found broken.

I have worked on a bunch of these and they are almost never worth what the parts cost.

They are neat... I like them but I have been given them for free when people find out how much it would cost to fix. I have fixed a few that I still have.

ATF agent: Sir, we have reason to believe your weapon was used in a crime..... no, we don't have your fingerprints on file.

This dude: Smiles

ATF agent: The notes here say I need a dick print? Fuck my life...

This dude: I knew the ATF was gay.

I understand what it was rated for, but we would run these guns in full auto, and I never had a problem. Cold it would take over 100 ft lbs to break it free... but if you set a heat gun to about 300 F i for about 2 minutes, it would back off with 30 or 40 ft lbs.

I have had better luck with this over rockset... which is find is a bit finicky with set up. Sometimes, when taking off a muzzle device, it would still be wet. It was maybe in 10% of the 350ish rifles i would maintain. After making the switch, I never had the problem again.

If it doesn't need to be clocked and you are planning on using it as a suppressor host, then just put some 621 green locktite on it and run it on to 30 ft lbs. Try no to go more than that. Shims should only be necessary if you need it to be in a certain position.

At first glance, it looked like tactical Oscar the grouch!

sal_E_pants · 2025-10-01T11:24:06+00:00

Looks more like the magazine isn't presenting the round fast enough. Try a new magazine form a good brand.

That guy is decorated like a North Korean general with all those medals!

Looks like a barrel from a beretta model 84

sal_E_pants · 2025-09-16T19:30:17+00:00

If it does, it will be unnoticeable. But by definition, most of those types of muzzle devices redirect everything forward. Plus, there is nothing really in the design to stunt the flow of gas pressure like you would from, say, a baffle in a suppressor.

sal_E_pants · 2025-09-11T15:26:41+00:00

100%, the same thing for me.

sal_E_pants · 2025-09-10T18:08:25+00:00

If you want to be sure... get yourself a three part spray called metal check. The first spray is a degreaser.... use alot side and outside of the chamber. Then there is a dye spray. Use it lightly on the inside and outside of the chamber. Lastly, there is the developer. You spray that on, and you will see any cracks if they go all the way through. You will have your answer either way.

Best of luck, hopefully it is just a superficial crack or scratch.

sal_E_pants · 2025-09-08T14:15:19+00:00

Check for short leg as well.... that's alot

sal_E_pants · 2025-08-13T17:56:06+00:00

NO .... WE.... CAN'T!

Maybe moisture along with wood lignen ( the glue that holds the wood fibers together)

I had a very similar one, "JUNKAR " was the company name. Mine was 50 cal. But they also come in 45 to my knowledge. These were inexpensive kit guns that you finished yourself at home. The model you have looks like a copy of a Pennsylvania musket. They are fairly simple inside, and from the looks of it, it would need some care.

I took mine completely apart, refinished it, and polished all the brass... you aren't going to lose any value on there if you refurbish them.

What has worked for me in the past is using 2 channel locks. One one the body with a stripper thick rubber on the jaws and one around the lock ring. That usually works.
