We haven't decided yet if we are going to do more runs either exclusively Sparrow or doing it for other cans as well.

Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!

Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
No ETA on another run.
We had a ton of emails from non-Sparrow owners that wanted in on the run so it brings to question.
What models of silencers would you guys like us to run next time?

Any cans with stainless CTA baffles. (Octanes, Spectres) Would that be a logistics nightmare?Bendersquint wrote:No ETA on another run.

Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
Absolute logistics nightmare, for cans like that they would most likely be required to be brand new unfired so we can gut them all and run all the baffles in one batch, no seperation/segregation etc.rimshaker wrote: Any cans with stainless CTA baffles.

Mine has seen 5K rounds through a 4.5" barreled SMG. Still going strong. B- did a great job!

If it doesn't splatter, shatter, burst or explode, it's not worth shooting.
Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
Hey, that sounds really cool.... Too bad I missed it by 6 months.
If another run comes up for sparrows, or if a first run comes up for Spectre 2's count me in!

Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
We ran a few other model cans when we did the Sparrow run to test them out. Spectre's were in that grouping.Bob_L wrote:Hey, that sounds really cool.... Too bad I missed it by 6 months.

We are still uncertain if we will offer it again as we spent more time cleaning them than anything else.
It will be posted here if we decide to do it again.
Thanks!
Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
Thanks for the reply. I regularly wet tumble mine in stainless steel media, so it stays relatively clean (other than two straight lines on the inside of the tube that correspond to the seams on the inner sleeves [/OCD tick].
If cleaning was a problem last time, if you do another run make folks send in an extra $100 Postal money order with a SASE. If the can's clean when you get it, you send them the money order back.

Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
Was the extra cleaning done individually by hand, or was there a "mega-dip" bath wash available?

Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
We have considered a cleaning fee paid up front and if it comes in clean its refunded and if not then well then its not refunded.Bob_L wrote:Thanks for the reply.

In order for them to be run they have to be OCD spotless, if not they require cleaning.
We will have to see.

Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
I have a never fired sparrow in jail right now. Let me know if I should keep it clean. I have 2 other 22 cans so that should be easy.
Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
Just picked up my sparrow. Should I keep it mint condition? Are you doing another run?
Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
Hello,
I am interested in another possible run of Sparrows as well. I admit I skipped a page or two in this thread but are there not any photos of the finished product?
Thanks
Jason

Re: SRI is Melonite treating Sparrow tubes!
Thank you. Man now I really want in. I live outside of Raleigh and it was would be awesome if I could do an in person drop off and pick up to eliminate shipping from the process.
