Consider hard chrome over Cerakote: smoother and tougher and won't cause the action to bind by adding thickness to the finely fitted parts.
Very cool project!
Thanks buddy. I always appreciate your input on these old rifles. I generally try to leave these old girls alone except for the mcmillans here and there with the originals kept stashed away for safe keeping. Back to your hard chrome question. Yes, do you know anyone that does a good job? I use a guy for cerakote because he's close and he does outstanding work. The hard chrome would probably be tougher though.
