Re: Cerakote and stainless?
Here is the barreled action sitting in the stock after the cerakote.
And although I liked the way it looked, it is a work rifle. I was going to have to paint the scope something other than black, so I went ahead and painted the barreled action to kinda match the stock.
I've got a couple of muzzle devices to try out, this being the smallest (except the muzzle cap, which I cerakoted to match the barrel). I'm going to try them out at the range and see which one I like.
As far as the stainless goes - the cerakote seemed to go on fine. This is the first time I've done the whole process myself. I've never abrasive blasted anything before, so I was very careful and probably took longer than anyone in the history of sand blasting. I made sure everything looked perfectly even on the bolt, action and barrel. I sprayed it with a co-worker's very expensive equipment with him watching over my shoulder. I baked it for longer than it said in the instructions just to be sure.
I can't tell a bit of difference between the CM bolt and action and the stainless barrel and recoil lug. Only time will tell, but I think if you do the prep work right, stainless and cerakote go together just fine.
