Brownell's has several "kits" for the do-it-your-selfer but I am really not sure which is best for your needs. If you decide to do it yourself, here are a few tips: Any contamination at all will ruin the job so get it clean and then clean it some more. Bead/sand blast it down to bare metal and then clean it. Folded/molded/stamped over metal is the worst for holding oil. (Like where the mag body attaches to the feed lip head) Most of the finishes require heat curing. Use the kitchen oven ONLY when the spouse is away from home and use lots of ventilation. Some of that stuff stinks!!! The spray cans will not do as good a job as the air brush on type. The Teflon coatings are not Tefloned like a frying pan. It just has teflon particles mixed in the resin base. Ok, now if you decide to send them out, check out http://www.shootiniron.com
A G3 20 rounder is a "Large" and we do bulk discounts. Thanks and keep yer powder dry, Mac.

The G3 20 rounders are $6 each, our Tuff-gun process uses a Molly resin as the final finish, yes we can do a Camo job on mags! Send me an email with a list of what you are thinking about having done and I'll make you a price quote offer. Thanks and keep yer powder dry, Mac.
