I'm curious as to whether or not anyone here is familiar with powder coated pistols.
I'm (hopefully) in the middle of rebuilding a grenade'd Steyr-Hahn 1912 in 9mm Luger caliber. Yes 9 x 19 parabellum, not 9 x 23 Steyr.
I located a bbl in 9 x 23 from a forum member, who was a gunsmith who's familiar with the conversion.

( cause people who b*tch online about businesses are...well...intolerant?. And if there is one thing I cannot stand; it's intolerant people, I just want to smash them! Naw, just always wanted to say that
). But is that slide ugly! Nasty stuff, small pits and surface rust! But a piece that rare, what do you do, right?
So the collector value is nil, nil, nil.
Why not powder coat the whole pistol in OD green, or camo? It can't be worse than the condition of the slide at present; that would be impossible in my eyes.
I don't dare post this in Milsurp...they'd burn me in effigy, lol!
