Well I decided to try something new and build a tactical grizzly mag/870 and duracoat it because the finish on the dominion arms are pretty weak if anyone has one you know that it's finish is very poor. I decided to go with a matte black duracoat and picked up a grizzly mag.

I sold everything from the grizzly mag except for the receiver and 1 mag.

So I picked up a 18.5" remington 870 barrel and a breacher choke, S&J hardware 870 AR high adapter and the long top rail, AR stock and tube, FAB defence railed forend, magpul AFG2, remington 870 2 shot extension, barrel ext clamp, hogue AR grip, and an archangle 7 shot side saddle. I started masking all the parts and started to degrease using LCW true strip.

After using the tru strip to degrease everything was cleaned and the finish was like a silver colour from most of the cheap finish coming off.

Duracoat is an amazing product and very simple to use with little skill. Dries to the touch in 20 minutes and your parts and firearm are ready to assemble and use in 24 hours. So anyways here are the pics of the finished build.
Let me know what you think and thanks for looking

Great job. What did you use to apply it? I have been looking at duracoating some stuff, but with my spray painting skills not being that great, I don't know if I want to risk it..

I used an airbrush to coat it, you can also get the ez spray kits which comes with aerosol cans if you don't have one and works like spray paint. Trust me if you take your time with prep and use the tru strip degreaser you'll do just fine. I recommend duracoat to anyone that wants to refinish any firearm.
 
Awesome job! Thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I thanks for sharing. I'm on the same Page with my magfed. Bought the s2ar adaptor. How did u get over the metric bolt /receiver stud problem or were u lucky and got a non metric grizzly? Thanks again.
