Who would you use to DLC your action? I see several companies popping up on Google, but I want it done right. I bought an Axiom off the PX and would like to get it fully coated while I'm still waiting on a barrel. Thanks

Club Customs is generally recommended and it seems most builders and custom action companies outsource their DLC work to them.

Might want to check with Industrial Hard Carbon in NC.

I'm not sure if they will do individual receivers, but I can personally vouch for their quality DLC work. My experience pre dates DLC's use in firearms, but I've been to their plant in NC back when they used to call themselves Extremion.
A large percentage of Wrist pins, valves, flat tappet/billet cams, and lifters used in Nascar and NHRA were done by them back in 2007-2010 when I was last involved. It's pretty amazing to see a DLC wrist pin out of a Cup car after 500 miles + with minimal oiling due to high vac dry sump & it looks brand new. Compared to a larger, best damn tool steel money can buy un-coated pin galled to holly hell.
They actually have a picture of this on the link below, but I've seen it first hand in cup shops and in Marine race engines I built after 500 plus supercharged hrs.
