And you know this how? Have you used every coater out there that uses Cerakote to confirm it? whistle laugh


I've not used "all" of them, but I've used 6 different folks/shops to cerakote rifles and one shop to teflon coat a single rifle. Eddie and Karl Feldkamp have been the only 2 to return perfect work. When I have another that needs coating it will go to Eddie.

The OP made a reference to coating the bolt face... I recently recieved a rifle I had teflon coated (not by Eddie) which had the bolt face and lugs coated. It is a .223AI with a blind mag and I wanted to check feeding so I made some dummy rounds and did some testing. Feeds great...however...the pluger/ejector stopped kicking the dummies out. It seems the coating may have been enough to cause it to stick. This coating was also proposed as a slick coating...not something that should cause a part to stick. It did this off and on for about 30 rounds of feed testing. I removed the bolt and patiently worked it with the flat end of a nail head until it loosened up enough that it stopped sticking. It hasn't happened again since, but I haven't spent much time with the rifle since either....

Cerakote = thumbs up
Eddie's work = thumbs up
Coating the bolt face/lugs = thumbs down
