Damascus Finishing
 

A sneak peek of our new composite Barrel finishing room. 100 year old formulas and process, tech'd up a bit.

Nice setup Brad!

Certainly a much nicer workplace than the poor guys at Parker probably worked in. I always envisioned the Meriden factory a century and a quarter ago as a nasty smoke-filled environment hazardous to one's health. We have come a long way in this country. Congratulations Brad.

Very impressive.

One advantage in the old plant was that all of the needed heat was boiler generated. We don't use our steam generator for tank heating rather we rely on gas burners. This creates the need for a heavy duty air makeup system and significant ambient temperatures. They most likely just opened a window if they needed to. I wish pictures existed.

Brad... Top picture - the set of barrels at the far right right up against the edge of the picture..... Is that a set of composite barrels with a vent rib???

what good eyes...charlie

Brad, that is a great setup! i've got a couple sets of composites that need to hang around there.
Are those trigger guards being rust blued?

I wish it was. We run slow rust following Damascus. It is a Crown Grade Trap Smith. The rest are Damascus.
David those are guards. Nitre is done in an adjoining area. They are drying over the oil tank.
