You know guys, this forum is a fine example of the freedoms we all have as a result of the sacrifices made by many brave soldiers in many wars over the past 80+ years. Keep up the open dialogue so we all are better informed about our second amendment right to bear arms. Have a good Memorial Day and keep up the good communications.

Wayne- The process you refer to is sintering, about which I AM NOT an expert. It is essentially a molding process that uses powdered metal that is heated to less than it's melting point and pressure or injection molded. I think that most of the sintered parts in DW's were internal, some of which were later changed to bar stock. I know that sintered metals are used in bearings, and sintering is not limited to metals, but is used in ceramics and plastics as well.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Ryan, thanks for giving us more info & background on your .22...and for not taking too much offense for us bashing your coating job.
We DW aficionados tend to be a little picky when it comes to new ideas tried on a DW.
I assume the choice to powdercoat it probably due to the lesser cost involved. That's a bummer that the cylinder didn't want to cooperate.
I was going to comment earlier that I liked the slots in the shroud, but I was at work & just posted quickly. The slots look a bit oversized for the gun...but I bet if whoever did those, had used one size smaller cutting bit, it would look a lot more proportionate to the rest of the gun.
Anyway, good luck with your auction. Here's the link, for anyone interested.

Yep the powder coating was chosen because I powder coat many of my contender and encore barrels and they turn out terrific. Also once the PC has a chance to fully harden its tough as nails and very chip or abrasion resistant aswell as completely rust proof. At first I did not know if the slots we factory or not, I kinda figured they were not and talking with the previous owner confirmed that he had a gunsmith/machinest do it for a Kewl factor more then anything. Like I said I go throguh alot of guns. Im not a dealer or anything like that It just the only way I can buy new guns is to sell the old. Its just a vicious cycle, But one I never tire from..If a gun is in pristine shape I either post on the SP forum or maybe here or the PA forum, but when its a item Im not 100% proud of it goes to the masses on auction...But like I say this gun is 110% mechanical and really a good shooter and the rest of the PC job looks good with the exception of the clyinder..I should have tried to redo the cylin before selling it but I just said ah heck, I;ll let someone else fix it if they desire it so...Cheers, Ryan

Now there's a “vicious cycle” one could live with…except perhaps IHMSA80X80…

No vicious cycle here...
"Sell" is not in my vocabulary.

I'm with IHMSA on this one, sell is not an option, although I really appreciate the guys who buy and sell because it leaves more for me to get. Only this money thing keeps getting in the way.
Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Ryan, Sorry I brought the Attention to the 22. No need to defend work here. I have a couple of small frame shrouds that I am going to mill slots in. I do not want to hold up all that weight and get my hot burning 22 loads to heat up the barrell . Although , thanks to IHMSA , I will put the slots as close to factory as possible. But I will pass on the powder coat. I'm a deep blue or SS kind of guy.

Gemini... I think you can order the shrouds from Keith with out the heavy under lug.. ( am I correct ? ).. also why not try and talk Keith into doing the slots ??
So does anyone think the slots help the whole cooling thing ? I mean it would stand to reason wouldn't it ? but does anyone know for sure ? ( like SMF or IHMA ?)

To my best knowledge the slots were primarily created to make the weight classes in IHMSA, cooling may have been a side benefit. IHMSA 80x80 shoots steel and could probably correct me if I am misguided there.
As far as a new shroud with slots, I doubt that you will get that at CZ anymore. The custom .375 Shroud I just had built I desired to have slots in, but Keith stated they no longer set up the machining to do that. You could always ask, but that is what I was told.

SMF.. is it a big deal to get a gunsmith or machine shop to cut those slots for you ?

SMF is correct, the sole purpose of the slots was to allow the gun to make the IHMSA 4 pound weight limit. Better cooling of the barrel is a side benefit.

I was told the same as SMF. CZ will cut the underlug but no longer cuts the slots . On the small frame shrouds I wish to mill out , it is only for looks.. I have a few extras that are not out of my PP's and I am just one of those types that have to be different I guess.

I have never inquired of a gunsmith or machine shop to do this. Good question. though.
