X-Metal refinishing and tune up in the U.S.?

[Enigma735]

Is anyone doing refinishing and tuneups in the US for X-Metals? Have a pair that have a slight ring around one of the nose piece pins due to a craptastic tune up. Would like to keep it domestic to cut down on the turnaround time.

I’ll use Linegear otherwise and just deal with it.

Got a pic of it? @THE X-MAN can do wonders…but depends on the ring you are talking about. Is it kinda leaking rubber?

His turn around time is beyond belief…and he is Stateside.

As others have said there is one answer that you absolutely can’t go wrong with. @THE X-MAN . He just finished up the 3rd, 4th and 5th pair I have sent him. Absolutely great guy and his work is top notch. With the near impossibility to find nose bridges, there is no one I trust more with my metals, including myself.

It’s just a bit of the finish around the pin that is shiny now from the base of the pin pusher pressing against it through a cloth when I was removing the original to replace. The other pin got dented a little, too so I’m hoping to do the tune up + refinished option to get it all squared away.

X-Man it is. Did you ship yours with lenses or remove em first? Go Hokies!

Gotcha. Ouch. Well…if anyone can do it, it’s @THE X-MAN but that’s a hard thing when the titanium is dented. Now if you were having him Cerakote it…but that’s a whole nother thing. See what he says first.

Pins are no biggie. Pop Em out and put new in…when ya get even a little dent or ding on the nose bridge itself…only time will tell. X-Man is simply the best at this type of thing.

The only concern you got is will USPS do their job. Lenses in or out is up to you.

Heh…I ain’t a sports guy…I’m the retired soldier

I think a tuneup and refinish would serve these well.....an x-metal finish hides alot of defects...... I'm wondering if that was the original plan all along, because the early casting processes were rough.

The most recents without but that was mainly because I am waiting on lenses for 2 of the 3. I would have no issues either way.
