DNP Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 So....did you learn the cleaning part prior to the first attempt, or after? I wouldn't dare try without telling her. I sleep to heavy to pull any BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Oh, there was only one attempt at this one. I made damn sure that oven was clean before sticking gun parts in there. <thumbsup> I just don't want anybody trying out Cerakote and thinking it sucks, just because they still have last year's "Christmas Ham remnants" in the bottom of their oven... <lmao> Edited August 18, 2014 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNP Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Dirty oven tends to brown it up a little. It might be ok for FDE camo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Can't even tell it was done in the house, guys. No stinking up the house, no residual smell, nothing. Dirk, you could pull this while Dusty was at work, and she wouldn't even know you'd done it. <thumbsup> Make sure you clean your oven really, really well before you do this - if it's all nasty inside, that's gonna be in the heat when your parts are cooking. Clean your ovens!!! Hell, if I cleaned the oven that would be a dead giveaway to my wife that I was doing something with it that I wasn't supposed to be doing. I already got caught several years back when I did a bake on coating from Brownells that stunk up the place. Did I ever tell you guys that I don't have any sense of smell? <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 You're right. That damn thing won't be finished until there's a 300BLK EOTech sitting on it - in Cerakote Snow White. :rant2: Josh said he's putting an EOTech on his 300 BLK pistol. There's a 300 BLK EOTech?

98Z5V Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Larry, the 300BLK EOTech is model XPS2-300. That designation is now changed on EOTech's website, and they're just listing it as the "Model 300" now. http://www.eotechinc.com/holographic-weapon-sights/model-300 There's probably a $hit-ton if retail websites still calling it the XPS2-300, though. Cool thing about this reticle is: 1 MOA center dots - I've talked about those in previous Aimpoint-vs-EOTech threads. Two aiming dots, for 100 and 300. It's tough to setup a zero on a 300Blackout optic and HAVE a zero at 100 yards and 300 yards - it's in the ballistics of the round. This gives you that. BUT... The bottom of that 65 MOA outer circle - you place the bottom of the circle on your target, and it's zero'd for 7 yards. This optic can do it all for 300BLK. That's damn awesome badassery, right there. <thumbsup> Edited August 19, 2014 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Thanks Rob! I'll show that to Josh, I'm sure he will be interested in it. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) I'll let you know how an EOTech does in the oven, in about a week. I should be spraying another rifle coming up very soon. You'll see what happens with Patriot Brown bake-on, and the plastic battery cover. My MagPul plastic did great at 170 degrees and 3 hours, so the EOTech 512 battery cover should do just fine, also. I'll confirm its inherent resilience to heat with pictures here... <lmao> EDIT - info for others. I'm not baking the whole damn holographic sight. Just the outer hood and battery cover... :eek: :bitchslap: I am NOT looking forward to breaking this bastard down and sandblasting it...

DNP Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Dude's gonna put his Eotech in the oven! What a nut! I've heard if you run it through the dishwasher first the paint sticks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

392heminut Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Well guys, I showed Josh the 300 BLK EOTech and he's all over that! He said that's the one going on his 300 BLK and thanks for the tip! <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.peace Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Did you bake the barrel in the oven or air dry it ?. I let it air dry . I also painted a couple of lowers with it one of them I coated heaveier than the other . the heavier coat started to texture. So I stripped in laquar and recoated . 3 or 4 light coats worked the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamO Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 That's looking real good man. What is that FFT on her ghost gun. Looks hexagon shaped like a Gibbz, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero in at 100 yards (subs) and you're zeroed at 200 yards for supers (110-130gr), The 1/2 range math works beautiully up to 300 yards or so. Here's the trajectory table from AAC for a 100/200 yard zero. Back to the topic on hand: Here's what I have to cerakote tonight.
