Custom Canik Rival 

A short time ago, my wife and I attended the IV8888 shoot down in Georgia. One of the vendor booths set up was Century Arms. Of course they had a nice selection of Canik pistols among other firearms they either manufacture or import. My wife at the time was only a few weeks past major shoulder surgery on her left arm. She is right handed, so at least she still had use of her good arm. She is also a huge Canik fan. She’s owned a TP9SF pistol in FDE for quite a few years now. I wanted to see her reaction on the Canik Rival pistol since it ws their newest model and had quite a number of physical as well as appearance changes when compared to her TP9SF. She was shooting everything that day one handed and when she took some shots with the new Canik Rival, she was hitting a steel plate half way across the range with very little ease. 

After that event was over and with a very special birthday coming up in December, I saw an opportunity to do something special for her. I went over to Brownells and they happened to have Canik Rival pistols in black, in stock. I quickly ordered one up to my local FFL. Upon picking it up, I marveled at it’s beauty, but wanted it to be extra special for her. My wife’s favorite color is purple, but a solid purple pistol might be too much. I reached out to a company, fairly local to me, Weapon Works. I contracted them to do a black Multicam cerekote pattern with some purple accents added in. They quoted me 8 weeks to complete the project. About 4-5 week after I dropped it off, they were finished. Wow, what a quick turn around. M wife’s birthday was still 4-5 weeks away. So I took some really nice photos and put together a before/after video for my YouTube channel, then tucked it away until the big day.

Finally the day had come…it had been so hard keeping this pistol under wraps for such a long amount of time. I wrapped the pistol up in some foam, then placed it into the case. Put the case into a box and gift wrapped it. When she went to open the box, she saw that it was a pistol case and undoubtedly saw the Canik logo on the box. Once she pulled the foam off of the pistol…her first response was priceless… “Oh sh**” she exclaimed when she first put her eyes onto her new pistol. She was so surprised at what it looked like. I told her it was a one of a kind…no 2 Canik Rival pistols have that particular finish on it. I’m hoping that this doesn’t deter her from enjoying it and shooting it at the range. She is a very good shot…much better than I am at shooting handguns. 

A huge thanks to my good friends over at Brownells… always great selection of parts, accessories and firearms like this Canik Rival. Hats off to the folks over at Weapon Works as well…I’m looking forward to having them do some more work for me in the future. If you’re looking for custom cerekote work or builder sets, definitely check them out.

Pretty stoked about this build so far, even though it’s not complete. . I still need to swap slides for a M17 or have this cerekoted to match a M17 (would also need the optic cover since this came with a Romeo Pro installed). . I also need two Sig M17 21-round magazines. I have a couple but they go to my Surplus M17 and I’m trying to preserve those with the M17. . Things I’m waiting on are the Sig OEM threaded barrel and the manual safety cover/cap pieces that @freetime.alex is providing (huge shoutout and thanks!). Also, huge shoutout and thanks to @brownellsinc for the @holosunoptics 509T and @smo216 for hooking me up with a solid trade that made some of this possible. . Once I square away those needed parts, this @fluxdefense will be looking just as it does when I play Battlefield 2042.

When To Refinish or Leave Alone?

With a recent project, I’m having arguments with myself as to whether I should apply a new finish to the firearm or leave it alone. My method of refinishing a firearm or a firearm project has been dependent upon whether or not I wish to do the finish myself or pay a shop to do it. Brownells and their Aluma-Hyde II refinishing system has made it easier for the hobbyist like myself to embark upon a refinishing project on a firearm. The only limiting factor has been the color palette available. But if you’re like me and into military type of firearms, earth tones as well as OD green are available colors and these have been perfect for the majority of the projects I’ve had in mind. Whenever I’m looking for a different color combination or extravagant camouflage patterns, then I look to shops such as Weapon Works or more recently I’ll be using a smaller outfit I found out about that’s closer to home and a small business local to me.

Now onto the big question at hand…when should you refinish a firearm and when should you just leave it alone? This of course is a somewhat subjective question and answer and is largely dependent upon one’s world view in the realm of firearm collecting and customization. If I had an old Marlin lever rifle from the past 50 years that had rough metal and a very worn finish, most likely I would opt towards refinishing that rifle. Obviously a nice polishing and using a deep bluing would be an appropriate method to keep a classic rifle like that looking nice. Now a collector might look at me like I have 3 heads, thinking “you’re destroying that rifle’s history and collectability” when in reality, if the finish is very worn and the metal pitted, I’d much rather bring that rifle back to it’s former glory than let it continue to be neglected.

As far as more modern firearms, when would you want to refinish or apply a new finish? It really depends on what you’re after. Very recently, well last fall I wanted to do something special for my wife. I purchased a brand new Canik Rival pistol from Brownells then took it right over to Weapon Works for a custom purple/black multicam finish. There’s no other in the world quick like it and my wife was ecstatic to say the least. Flip a coin and what about a rifle with an anodized finish such as a coyote or FDE anodized finish? If you’re sole purpose is to apply a different finish, then might I suggest purchasing one in black, then have it refinished. My recent dilemma is with my Colt M16A4 clone project I’ve started on. At first I was dead set on doing a battleworn desert finish, but the more I work on this project, the less I’m inclined to change it.

One thing I will say in closing is don’t rush into a refinishing project on a firearm. Take your time and think out what you’re trying to accomplish. More often than not, once you’ve refinished a firearm, it’s impossible to reverse that finish. So whether you’re looking to refinish your firearm with Aluma-Hyde, cerekote or bluing, be sure to pick up the needed supplies from Brownells as they have you covered.

Brownells Family member Joe L from LTM Refinishing started off with a stock Ruger SR1911 & refinished it in cerakote h series graphite black and satin aluminum. Novak low mount tritium sights, Wilson Full length one piece guide rod, mainspring housing, ambidextrous hi ride safety, grip safety, slide stop, and commander hammer, 4 lb trigger job by Mike at Gunsmithing Only, and a set of Magpul grips. What would you have done differently?

#CitizenWatch #EcoZilla in 2 tone #Cerekote. This watch disappeared once, and had to be recreated. This spec (minus the strap), will make it on to the site as standard option. Anywhere possible, #CerekoteElite formulas will be used in favor of previous options. Great stuff to work with. Bezel inserts are the next test pieces for engraving. The balance of dials for outstanding Mk-Vs and other custom dials, as well as the last of the outstanding case backs, will be accompanying them. I'll be setting up a dedicated order status email, (probably something like status@...) to make it harder for them to slip through the cracks. #watchmod #watchaddict #watchfam #watchcollector #watchesdaily #watches #watchesofinstagram #wus #wis #watchuseek #instawatches #wornandwound #wotd #artificehoroworks #customwatch #bespoke #divewatch
