I’ll add that I agree with most of the posts here saying ditch the cerakote.
I’m not sure why manufacturers are on that kick the past few years. Cerakote seems most useful as a means to give a rifle a custom appearance, ESPECIALLY ON STAINLESS. Ain’t nothing custom about a production rifle painted the same as all the rest of them in a color picked with the hope that the masses will like it.


Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.
