I haven't tried to do any refinishing yet, so I thought I would try my skills-or more to the point, lack thereof-on a few mags that I have. My question is how do you take care of the inside of the thing? It seems to me that most blasters and spray guns might have limited reach.

I've refinished several magazines, usually with duracoat over parkerizing or just parkerizing alone.


I've never done anything to the inside of a magazine except clean it. Totally ignoring the inside during the refinishing. Of course the insides were reparked, but without prep it didn't have any effect. Maybe darkened in some scratces a little.


So I've ignored the insides on purpose with no problem. However, I'm no expert, so I'm not sure this is the last word on the subject. My thinking was that I want the mag to function so I'm going to leave the inside alone. I just clean them and use them, and occasionally refinish the outside of one to match a new build.
