To know how many pieces are on your gun, you must first completely disasemble your gun. Each separate metal piece counts as one piece. This can be for something as small as the lever on a clamping feedneck, to something as large as a trigger frame. They all count the same. Without disasembling your gun, you might not know that your trigger is actually 2 pieces, or that your regulator is 3 pieces instead of 2 like you had thought.

Once you have your gun disassembled and all the parts separated, you'll want to wrap them in bubble wrap, newspaper, or paper towels. Something that will protect from scratches that may occur in the shipping process. Next you'll want to separate the parts by colors and put them in separate large ziplock baggies. Be sure to write in a legible marker, or put a piece of paper inside the bag specifying the color. This is very important! You'll also want to include a piece of paper with your design address. Don't rely on us saving the box with the shipping label.

You don't have to fully disassemble your gun for laser engraving, but it definately makes things easier. Internals can stay inside the gun, but you absolutely must remove any electronics or wires that are exposed when the grips are removed. Some guns allow you to tuck the wiring up into a gap between the body and frame, but not all do. In most cases, it's just easiest to take everything out. Next, you'll want to include a piece of paper with your return address, as well as a detailed description of the job you're having done. If you're using one of our designs, be sure to specify the exact name of the design/pattern which can be found in the gallery page.

We offer a large amount of colors, and can usually find a color similar to what you're looking for. However we cannot guarentee an exact color match. This is a common question from people putting aftermarket barrels or regulators on their guns, and wish to match the factory anodizing. The only way to properly match these colors is to have the entire gun anodized with one of our colors.

Bead Blasting is a process by which abrasive grits are blasted on to the surface of a material using compressed air. The effect is to gouge away the surface where it is exposed. Now why would you wish to do this to your gun? The most common application of bead blasting is to remove laser engraving. Even if you re-anodize your gun, if there was previously laser engraving done then the engraving is still going to be faintly visible even under the new color. To remove this, the body must be bead blasted prior to anodizing. This can also be used to "wipe the canvas clean" on your gun to engrave a new design.

Another applicaion of bead blasting is to match a texture all the way through a gun. As you add aftermarket parts to your gun (regulators, ASA's, barrels ect..) you'll notice that the finishes are all different. While you could anodize them all the same color to match, they're still going to have different textures. Bead blasting would match the texture and finish on all part of the gun, providing you witch a much cleaner, much more consistant looking anodizing job.

Lastly, bead blasting is used in dust conversions. While a dust piece must be polished to achieve a gloss look, a gloss piece must be bead blasted to go back to dust.
