Coating services include coatings using PVD-, CVD-Technologies, Sputtering and Arcing as well as Plasma Nitriding.

Weapons and firearms often have coated components that improve the performance of internal working mechanisms. Our coatings also aid in improving the endurance of your gun barrels especially when your weapons are exposed to extreme heat. ACT can provide thin coated films for internal mechanisms such as: handguns, pistols, and rifles. Additionally, our coatings also aid in the performance of frames, mag release pins, and ejectors. The original gun components would remain intact while having an impressive coated appearance. Our certified Federal Firearms License (FFL) helps our customers get the coatings that they need with fewer restrictions.

PVD services include: TiN, TiCN, ZrN, CrN, TiAIN, AlTiN, MoS2 (X-LC) and many more.

Many of our PVD coatings work well with high-speed & high-pressure friction of internal working mechanisms. Our coatings help reduce the damage of extreme heat exposed to the gun barrel as well as the reciprocation motions that will wear on the body & frame.
