Gunsmithing Ceracote rant. (not really)

[LRI]

Goes like this: I post some pics of a finished piece and inevitably someone chimes in with "why'd you coat the inside of the action?"

Cause I can.

Watch:

Hmm, was going to send my Savage down state. Maybe I'll just have you do everything.

Do you do any of the Elite cerakote?

 

[SkyScrapin]

But why?????

Lol
Cool to see a connecting rod hone repurposed for rifle actions.

[2aBaC̶a̶]

Lol, that's funny because I thought the same thing when I saw it.

Then I thought to myself, this motherfucker knows his shit and waaaay more than me so who am I to question it.

If you built Trains, you'd have a movie title. That'll be a stout Goat!

This is how I like to get my bolt bodies down to diameter for Ckote to fit.

Curiosity question: does this do anything to the hardness of the metal?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Cut up greasy machinists hands. I love it. You won’t be getting any calls for work as a hand model for jewelry shows...so don’t quit your day job!

Thanks for the education.

Honing has zero effect on heat treat. I suppose someone "could" hone far enough to burn through a case hardened part, but gawd, you'd be there for days trying to do it while wearing out at least a handful of stones in the process.

I was going to call and ask what you reccomend for the defiance I plan to send your way. No doubt anymore. Thanks for the video

Note to all/self: Chasing a thread on a bolt with a Guhring 1/2-13 bottoming tap while having an index fingertip in close proximity is exactly how hamburger gets made should you ever find the need to explore that on yourself.

Chatting about car shit is a great way for me to derail this even further...
