About the Armoloy process on your firearm... (TOP)

CORROSION RESISTANCE:	Armoloy technology is unlike any other conventional chromium coating. Our proprietary process and coating conforms to existing metal surfaces with amazing detail, creating a hard, slippery, and corrosive resistant surface. It resists attack by most organic and inorganic compounds. Though Armoloy only enhances the base material. It will, however, pass the 24 and 96 hour salt spray tests with no problem!
DURABILITY:	Chances are, your gun will never come into contact with something that Armoloy will not resist. It will not chip, flake, crack, peel, or seperate from the base material even under the most rugged conditions. Armoloy does not significantly affect the tensil, yield, or fatigue properties of the base material, and the purity of the chromium surface will not be less than 99% as deposited. Our use of a mechanical vapor hone process rather than a chemical cleaning process eliminates the potential problem of hydrogen embrittlement of the steel, thus extending the life of your weapon.
BUILD-UP?	Armoloy's thickness with regard to steel remains constant and predictable, and will not reflect a buildup of greater than .0002 inch, about one fourth the thickness of a human hair! It has an equivalent hardness in excess of 70 Rockwell "C" when measured by conventional micro-hardness methods, making it one of the hardest coatings on the market.
VERDICT...	Armoloy has proven time and time again to be an optimal coating for firearms and has been praised as "one of the best rust-resistant metal finishes for handguns and shotguns." (Gun Digest)

Frequently Asked Questions (TOP)

• Nickel and chrome weapons must be stripped prior to processing. This service is offered by our company at an additional charge.

• Red inserts on front sights are not affected by the Armoloy process. We suggest that you break your weapon in and have your trigger action to your specifications prior to applying the Armoloy finish.

• We strongly advise against applying the Armoloy coating to springs, and we do not plate alloy (aluminum) parts, due to the possibilty of damage to your firearm.

• Armoloy produces an attractive satin finish. We do not recommend polishing the firearm after plating due to the possibility of damage to the finish.

• Armoloy's superior surface conformity causes it to replecate any scratches or pitts in the base metal. Therefore we suggest that the pitts and scratches be polished out by a gunsmith prior to you shipping the gun to us.
