Product/Service Recommendations

Thought I would start a thread here on the USFA board where we could inform each other of shooting related products or services that we would recommend to our friends.  You know the kind of friends I mean... Friends with guns who might get upset if we led them in the wrong direction.

TOUCH-UP BLUING - Brownells Dicopan T-4
For a couple of years now I have been using a great product from Brownells for touch-up bluing.  It is called Dicropan T-4 Touch-Up - Creme Formula.  If you go to Brownells web site and type "dicropan" in the search box it will come up.  The "creme" formula works great for small spots and scratches.  It has a thick, syrupy texture that makes it easy to apply to small areas with a toothpick.  Let it set for about 30 seconds and then buff off with a soft rag.  Makes cylinder drag marks and such disappear.

For people looking for springs, I recommend Wolff Springs.  They are consistent and durable.  Wolff is very quick at sending orders out.  Their reduced power main springs and increased power cross-pin springs are worth every penny.

When I need to polish, stone, or deburr internals of any of my guns, I use Dremel Tool Products.  However, I do not use the adjustable power Dremel.  I picked up one of their Dremel Golf Engravers that works at a much slower speed and is cordless.  All of the accessories will work with it, and it is much easier to work in tight places, like deburring the hand window.  Just thought this could be helpful, and I am no expert.  I know I qualify for a weekend backyard smithy, but I like to play around a little without getting into any trouble.

Stag Grips:  Recently had a pair of stag grips fitted to my latest USFA by the good folks at www.elenhunting.com .  Excellent quality stag (I went for the exhibition grade), perfectly fitted.  They only need your grip frame, not the entire gun, to custom fit the grips.  Turn around time was about 3 weeks.  Nice people to deal with.
