Gunsmithing Anyone in Northeast PA do Cerakote?

[JelloStorm]

Hey guys,

Looking for someone in Northeast PA that does their own Cerakote jobs. I don't have the resources to setup a blasting cabinet and oven large enough to do a barreled action.

And one question that I do have is for barreled actions with a Picatinny rail mounted. Is it ok to media blast these for Cerakote or would that risk harming the rails?

I media blast aluminum scope rails with 120 aluminum oxide at usually 40psi. With aluminum you don't have to remove all the anodizing. Just blast enough for the coating to have something to adhere to. Parkerized steel should be blasted to the metal. I'm in the Philly area if that helps.

Near Hazleton. I think Pottstown is only like 30 minutes south of me or so.

Edit: Oh I was thinking Pottsville, which is only like 30 minutes. You're about 2 hours.
