I would love to have a pistol coated in dlc.

I see some new Dlask items on the site that advertise a Nitride Finish, finished with liquid nitrocarburizing to a surface hardness of 65-68 HRC

Have you started doing this in house and if so do you have any experience with Nitride coatings on entire firearms such as custom 2011 race guns?

Are there any plans to offer this service in the future?

I'm asking because I want to refinish my custom 2011 and I see this as an enormous hole in the Canadian competitive shooting market yet a very popular service currently only offered from elite gun builders down south (as far as I know)

Some of the obvious complications might be refitting of the gun components (which already had very tight tolerances) after having applied a coating which ads a few thousandths of an inch thickness and prepping the various guns which may have all kinds of existing finishes that first need to be removed.

Noop, sorry. Unfortunately we do not have the time to devote to custom jobs like this. It takes HOURS of hand work to get a pistol prepped, done and refitted so you would be happy with it. At $105/ hr for the shop rate you would not be happy with the bill.
