The inside of the barrel doesn't receive any cerakote. It can be coated with some of the bore coating agents.... Stainless will always stain less if treated the same, and coating just makes it that much better. Win/win with stainless.
My take exactly.
In my mind there are only two reasons for a CM barrel. You are going to blue it, or really want a light contour cut rifled barrel from a maker who won't do it in SS.
