Need to Remove Micromag body ring, Calling RRFIREBLADE

[Dawg047]

Hey guys, well, the 2000 Micro body is going out for annodizing. Everything is stripped besides the inner body ring. Now, oh boy, I know this is going to be tricky. Ok, I know RRFireblade knows how to do it. How do you? I could get it out if I was a midget and could walk down the inside of the body but man, there is just no way to get to it. I know someone has to know how. All I can see is a tiny knurled spot through the sear slot. I know RRFireblade has siad he can do it plus the cost of a new ring but is he still around. Haven't heard anything for a while. Help, please. Thanks.

they can mask it off so there is not a need to remove it from what i understand ....

[Dawg047]

They can? Hmm, so the stainless ring won't effect the annodizing of the aluminum? Hmm, well, I will email Gruntbull and ask them and hopefully that is correct. Hopefully, we can get some color on this thing! Thanks Sumthin', anyone else?

i would pm tracy from ptp or forest from ptp and they might have new rings to put back in

[mag79]

Its pressed in, I had 2 anoed by thefool and all he did was tape it. It didn't effect the ano

[Dawg047]

Sweet, I will email Tracy though. Doesn't hurt. Hmm, SO, my next question is Mag79, does thefool do good work? Is he on this forum? I am looking for a new annodizer since it seems mine went out of business.

When I stopped by PTP's Maine location to put the deposit on the 2009 Micro Bodies I talked directly to Forest about this same issue with a 2000 Micro body I had. He thought having the anodizer mask it off was the best option.

[Dawg047]

Ok, looks like that is it then. I am PM'ing thefool right now for an anno quote. Thanks guys. I appreciate the fast responses.

[mag79]

he was great on price and timing, but I will go to gruntbull next time

[Dawg047]

You think gruntbull knows how to mask up the ring in the body and all that good stuff? I just noticed thefool had done a couple of Micromags but wonder about gruntbull. Hmm, well, I will email them too.

[Dawg047]

Wow, Gruntbull is like an hour away from me. Did not know that. Well, I know where I am going. Hey hey, maybe I can just go up there and watch them anodize it. Thanks guys, really apreciate all the help.
