Eric, I found a guy locally who is going to bead blast that 416 slide. Im in a small town so trying to find someone to do it was near impossible. Ill post a pic once its done

Post by: ECR on November 16, 2016, 04:36:37 PM: Excellent. I used 175/325 glass bead at about 80/85 psi and about 2-5" from the work. Movement was moderately paced.

Eric, where did you get 175-325 from? All I can find anywhere is the 170-325. Slightly more coarse

Post by: ECR on November 18, 2016, 08:28:18 PM: Actually, it may have been 170/325. Last time I bead blasted anything at the shop was about two years ago and that media we purchased a year before that. My memory may not be a sharp as it once was. lol.

I think it's close enough so we will try it on some test stock and compare the finish to the finished slide before we go ahead with the rough slide
