I'd thought about some of the earthy greens or browns but the Sniper Grey looked great and appealed to my conservative side. Admittedly, anything had to be better than the pre-Cerakote look, with the Model 's well-worn grey receiver and bolt, the new MAB barrel's shiny bluing and the reddish black of the scope mounts.
The barrel had already been scratched and rubbed in a few places, too. I handed the rifle to Jason for a few days. The first thing Jason does with any job is strip and clean it. The trigger mechanism is put aside; some people will have the trigger itself coated but the rest isn't touched. All nuts, bolts, screws, sights, bases, everything comes apart except the barrel and receiver.
Even the bolt is disassembled. The decontamination is the most important part, the crucial part of the whole process. I'm not big on leaving oil dripping from firearms, and Jason reckons the Remington cleaned up quickly, but he's spent a week on some rifles, baking them in the oven, bathing them in cleaner and repeating over and over. Then the parts are sandblasted. Everything comes off, down to bare metal, leaving a good surface for the Cerakote to key to. Jason blocks the chamber and muzzle with purpose-built plugs.
I've applied Cerakote to timber stocks on shotguns to make it a black tactical shotgun, things like that. The Cerakote is then sprayed on with a touch-up gun, left for a few minutes and then baked in the oven.
Only the one coat is needed, leaving a layer just 24 microns thick. It's such a fine application that all your tolerances remain pretty well in place.
The bolt body, firing pin, spring and cocking piece aren't Cerakoted, they're Micro Slicked. It's a similar product but with self-lubricating qualities — effectively a dry lubricant that's bonded to the metal surface. The Cerakoted action doesn't need oiling, either.

TOLERANCE: For standard firearms applications it is often inadvisable to coat both pins and pin holes, as the resulting one 1 mil thickness of the coating when applied to rounded surfaces creates increase of two 2 mil to the part tolerance and four 4 mil.
We typically plug or mask holes and pins and only coat the pin ends. However, we can coat pins and holes and then custom fit these parts after coating for an additional charge. MARKINGS: For receivers, frames, slides, Picatinny rails which have painted on or lightly laser etched markings these markings will be lost during the surface preparation and coating unless they are machine engraved or stamped.
If these markings are of great importance we can mask over them, but those areas in and immediately around the markings will not be coated and, as such, will not blend. Some manufacturer model numbers, name etc which are laser engraved will be masked over.
Please consult us for specific requirements. Cerakote H-Series: H-Series is the most durable of the standard Cerakote family of coatings and provides the best performance in hardness, wear and scratch resistance, adhesion and rust resistance.
It can withstand heat up to f — f degrees and comes in the widest range of colors. Therefore, we use the H-Series wherever possible. We also use C-Series to coat scopes and other optics, as well as fiberglass and items and substrates which cannot be baked.
