Gray gun finishes?

[torpid]

Anyone have any experiences/pics of medium or dark gray gun finishes that you think came out well, and would recommend?

Thanks!

Yes. Mac's Shootin' Irons used a grey Gun Kote over their parkerizing on my 870. I had the same thing done in black Gun Kote on a 1911. I love it.



If it helps to tell the darkness of the grey, the trigger group pins are black (side saddle screws) and you can just make out the black stock in the lower left.

I agree with Gunsnrovers... Mac's is great. And he is a great guy, too.

You might look into Belgian bluing. It was apparenly used back in the days when shotgun barrels were soldered together. It's uncommon now, but has a much greyer than blue look.

www.lauerweaponry.com . Steve Lauer can make you as gray a gun as you want in DuraCoat®. They build some nice weapons there, too! Always the best table at any local gun show they're at.
