I used C-Series on my first half dozen F1 cans. Not sure if the Piston Coating is different than their “normal” C-series?

Even though it may hold up to the internal engine temps, I’m not sure it would hold up to the sand-blasting effect of muzzle blast. All I did was spray the outside of mine.

Would be a good project to try to document. My bet is on the Cerakote extending the life of aluminum baffles by more than one would expect. I know when I was building turbo cars in the 90s, that was the only affordable way to keep the pistons
light and still resistant to cracking under high boost and detonation

I’d even consider trying to get two cones hard coat anodized and just keep rotating them as the first two baffles.
 
Powder coating might be useful. That stuff is TOUGH
 
Traps look quite nice. Especially for $15 or whatever it was.

He NEEDS to start detonating pounds of tannerite with a model rocket engine igniter with a magnum rifle primer on a regular basis at 10:59pm.
Of course set up a couple barriers to angle the noise to the lovely neighbor that he was protecting their hearing.

I wanted to make a Suppressor, so I paid my tax and waited 12 days, but I remember when form 1's were taking a year.

Gold was $35 an ounce when The NFA passed. Its $1492 an ounce today. By those standard a tax stamp in 1934 was the equivalent of about $8500 today. OK , wer'e not on the gold standard any more. Fair . Lets talk apples to apples in the economy. Or the same apple to the same apple. THE SAME $2000 home in 1934 costs $220K in an off market today. THE SAME HOUSE . Thats an 11000% decrease in the value of a dollar since 1934 . That $200 stamp in 1934 was the equivalent of $22,000 in 2019 dollars.

Runaway inflation...brought to you by the 1970's.

A lot of that depends on location, our house that we are getting ready to sell sold for 30,000.00 ish in 74, were hoping to get mid 80,000.00 out of it maybe a touch more.
 
The depression and the post ww2 baby boom and the 70s and EZ credit all have driven the price of old homes in non ghetto areas through the roof since they were built. I used the 220k number from personal experience. Hell the house I just sold a few weeks ago netterd 150k after only owning it for 3 years.
