Melonite Refinishing

 

            I offer salt bath nitride finishing services on pistols.  This type of finish has several advantages over other finishes on the market.  The biggest advantage is that it is a treatment that gets into the metal.  It is not a surface coating.  The treatment offers corrosion protection, reduced wear of moving parts, and added lubricity.  The treatment works on carbon and stainless steel.  The end result is a dark satin black finish that is highly resistant to wear. 

            All gunsmithing should be completed before having your pistol refinished.  A pistol can be rebuilt after being finished, but it will be labor intensive.  The treatment surface hardens the top several thousandths of the metal.

            The average cost is $175 plus return shipping.  P7’s cost a little more.  Return customers get a discount.  Turn around is about three weeks.  Please contact me for pricing and turn around information.

            The pistols in the Gallery have all been Melonited.  Additional pictures can be found on www.louderthanwords.us, www.10-8forums.com and www.parkcitiestactical.com.  Thanks for the interest.
