Any good shops you know of that will make an optic cut and use machine paint on the exposed metal rather then refinish the whole slide? Thanks

You can do it yourself before putting the optic on.

Shhhhhhh...don't let that be common knowledge.

Maybe, but a shop will prep it better and have better paint.

 

[JArthurD]

Paint? I was thinking about Oxpho-Bluing. What color paint is on your receiver and why?

 

[icenoir]

OEM finish on the slide.

If you don’t want to spend a ton of money, send it off to Wager Machine Works. They will mill the slide and apply blueing to the cut area. $85 total cost and super quick turnaround.

Thank you!

I spent around $175 at another shop for the cut, nitride refinish, and new sights. Should be getting it back soon. DP Custom Works.

Buckeye, thank you or that link, as the old eyes get older the optics make more sense.

Also, if you need an optic, coverttactical.net has the best prices around. Send the guy an email or message him on Facebook and he will give you a coupon code to discount the price. His name is Gavin. I was a bit skeptical at first, but he is legit and his service was perfectly acceptable. Picked up a new Holosun 507C x2 for $260 shipped. No tax

They did both my slides. I didnt have them do the coating but the cuts were good. No complaints so far.

Not necessarily. I can prep and paint just as well, and choose what finish to use. If you are going for looks, then have at it. For function (protection of the milled area), I can do it myself.

Nameless arms is doing my 19x. He will do a pro cut like ATEI and cerakote only the pocket leaving the OEM finish on the rest of the slide. This was very important to me with the 19x. The only other place that will cerakote the pocket is ATEI.

Nathan at nameless arms charges $130 for the cut and cerakote. There are examples of his work on other forums as well. His customer service has been great so far.

Refinish for a 19x is probably more tricky. That’s not a bad price at all. Especially for quality work. Got any pics to share?

These aren’t my pictures but were posted by members on another forum of the work done by Nameless Arms. He gets the pocket so perfect that the optic can stay in without screws. He is held in high regard in other forums. I’m not sure if I can post names of other forums here though.

I’ll absolutely post pics when I get my slide back in a week or so. After talking to him I have utmost confidence in his company. He replies within 30min-1hour to all of my messages.

 

[BuckeyeJ23]

wow his work looks nice. Especially on the 19x where he has to be super careful not to mess up the area that is not milled. Also, it appears that he cuts them low which is ideal. Thanks for sharing.

Web search just went to a domain page, & the fb turned up 2 different ones, & didn't see a Gavin. Was thinking about getting a Holosun since the Trijicon dot are so high.

 

[BuckeyeJ23]

I see the issue. Sorry.
