Well, I'd like to give a little review of CCR Refinishing,since having some work done recently on my Mossberg 930 SPX and my Glock 23.Their website link is: http://www.ccrrefinishing.com/
To start off, I want to say I purchased my 930SPX new from a gunstore and it had some marks on the receiver and a mark on the barrel.It could have been from a customers handling because it was a rack gun or it might have came from the factory like that, I don't know.I knew I wanted it parkerized or refinished anyway,so it didn't bother me and the gunshop knocked off $50.00 dollars so I was satisfied.Previous to this I tried my hand at Aluma-hyde from brownells :upeyes: to do my well worn G23 slide,a Police trade I purchased from a dealer at Glocktalk.I had a good experience before with brownells gunkote when I did an Rem 870 years ago when Wilson Combat poorly finished my shotgun with their Armor-tuff coating.This wasn't the case this time around with the Aluma-hyde.
So, I call up Mary at CCR and have a chat with her about my gruesome job on my Glock and if she can help me fix it.After a small chuckle from the horror story I told her with my spray can, she said no problem we can take care of whatever you put on there and we are running a special right now.Sounds good to me, packed it up and off she went.I must say, it is quite lovely speaking with Mary and her answering all your questions while calming all your concerns.
In any case, while the Glock was there I decided what the heck, I might as well send the 930 SPX and get her out of the way too,even though having both my beauties gone at the same time was gonna be torture, off she went to after another conversation with Mary answering my many,many questions.I wanted my guns back a.s.a.p. so I opted for their optional expedited service at an additional charge in which the gunsmith stays after hours, or works on a day off to work on rush service jobs.I also ordered some goodies on-line from Cactus Tactical and had them directly shipped to CCR, so they could be coated and installed by the gunsmith while the shotgun was there getting refinished.
On both my guns I opted for the Cera-Hide matte black finish.They also offer Cera-plate finishes as well.First,they totally disassemble every componant of the firearms down to the last little spring and screw.Everything gets media blasted and then all steel parts are parkerized.The aluminum parts are just media blasted and then everything,every screw,part etc. is coated and then thermally cured.
Now,they are very good with answering emails and the phone,but try not to be a pain in the butt like me too much, cause Mary sometimes is in the shop doing her thing too like parkerizing.So just be-aware that you may have to leave a voicemail, or give her a reasonable amount of time to respond to you.Don't blow up the phone every five minutes :whistling:
But anyway, like I said she is very attentive and service oriented and a pleasure to speak with about your projects.
Anyhow I'm gonna post some pictures for your viewing pleasure.
Briefly, The pistol is a Glock 23 .40 sporting some mepro night sights.The Mossberg 930 SPX is sporting a Nordic plus two extension,Nordic clamp with pictanny rail,Vang comp stainless follower,Vang-comp oversized safety,GG & G single point rear sling attachment and GG & G single point sling, and finished off with a Tac-star sidesaddle.I can't recommend CCR Refinishing enough, a wonderful experience and great work!!!! Thank You CCR!!!
Now for the photo's,by the way I'm not great with pictures so let me tell you the pictures don't do them justice and any flaws are just me and the tuff cloth I use.The blacked out section on my glock is blocked out to cover serial number.Thanks again everyone,hope you like the review!!
