So there are two parts to my question / dilemma here. I have a raw Defiance Tenacity action. I've read as much as I can about Cerakote, black nitride, and DLC / Ionbond finishes.
My initial thought was to have the bolt only nitride finished and then the exterior of the action (and barrel) would be done in midnight bronze cerakote by someone like SAC or Beanland.....whoever builds it out for me. I want to avoid having cerakote built up on the raceways and internal of action.
Is this a stupid idea?
I contacted H&M directly and they will do it but want the bolt completely disassembled...which I'm not really comfortable doing. I contacted Area 419 and they no longer broker for nitride service. I contacted Bugholes and they would do it but their next batch to send off is months out.
I really liked the looks of black bolt and tan/brown/fde barreled action. How difficult is it to remove the bolt and what all parts should be sent to H&M? Firing pin too?
