sitsinhedges Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 What exactly is that finish? Certainly not blued, seems more like paint and not very durable Just wondering how I can maintain it, only had it a day and it's scratched to *******.

beerdeor Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 My lad had a 20g s/a for nearly 2 years ok the finish isnt so great but cheap gun and hardly ever missed a beat quality costs money will it make you a better shot I doubt it very much just got my lad a miroku mk 60 3 times the price and so far he shoots just the same but he has turned into a gun tart overnight Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanl50 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) It is Parkarizing, obviously non reflective, traditionaly used on military weapons it does not require really any metal finishing to apply as does traditional blueing or blacking and it is much harder wearing, dont look nice but practical and of course cheaper. Alan You must have give it some grief to mark or scratch it ?? "Carplan" Satin matt black aerosol is a close run match all joking aside. You could'nt do this on a Beretta lol I know Im going to regret this post Edited September 23, 2009 by Alanl50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are dead right you cannot scratch a Beretta, as we keep them in the cabinet until there is laboratory shooting conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) I bought an Escort so that I did'nt care if I scratched it Edited September 24, 2009 by adam1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeignGadger Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 So did I. I have a 20g silver pigeon which I found cumbersome in a hide, shooting pigeons and crows. The FAC Escort is great: didn't cost a fortune, easy to load in a hide and I don't give much of a stuff if I hit it against the poles. It's cammo anyway, which does not show up many scratches. It's a 3", 26" barrel, and seems to be happy with any diet of pigeon cartridge. (And don't you just love the bang,bang,bang...bang,bang if you have to). Granted, if you look carefully, it is not exactly hand-polished and clearances do look a bit slack, but boy, does it work.

Jim Sarakun Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 OOOOHH, luvly, a Datsun thread. Don't worry about the scratches chaps, 'cos it won't go rusty like a B. word gun will, you know, all flaky so you can push your fingers through it. It's got a Molybdenum barrel, how cool is that? All that hiitech trickery for a few quid. Marvelous, nay, sooperdooper! Matt black paint? Blooming good idea. Think I will use that to cover up the vice marks on mine.
