Gunsmithing DLC on a Remington Bolt

[Bigdude]

I am having my Remington 700 bolt DLC coated. Can someone help me as to how to prep it? First I removed the firing pin, spring and shroud. I taped off the bolt handle and knob because I dont want that part coated. Do I remove the extractor or leave it in place? The extractor is the only part that I am not sure how to prep. I also had the body of the bolt sandblasted to remove the cerakote.

ide ask who ever you have doing the DLC how they want it prepped.

The contact person is a woman and she knows nothing about firearms. She seems to know very little about the DLC process as well.

shes likely a receptionist.....call and ask to speak to an engineer/ technician.

Agreed, don’t waste your time money with some unknown entity that can’t/won’t support you. Check these guys out;

Industrial Hard Carbon (www.industrailhardcarbon.com) is the facility doing the coating. They quoted me $42 for the bolt.

I believe that DLC is applied as a vapor deposition process. You don't tape off areas as you would for a spray applied coating such as cerakote. I would only work through a shop that works on non-production line firearms. Club Custom Guns and Patriot Valley Arms are two custom shops that work with outside vendors who perform DLC.
