Cerakoting?

[rmbstyle]

I am looking to get my stripped AR15 lower, upper and rail Cerakoted. I want to get it done in a mixture of 60% burnt bronze and 40% graphite black. Where should I go to have it done? Are there any places in MD that are recommended or places online?

Thanks

Take it to Bollinger's. You won't regret it.

I had a custom pistol done at bollingers and a lower done at freestate. The lower was also burnt bronze, graphite black mixture. Both places did excellent work, for me freestate was closer.

how was pricing?

I spoke to bollingers not long ago about getting a stripped lower/upper and handguard done in grey. Think it was priced at $200.

Ceracoat

You can take to Duffy's as well. Since I will be the person doing the job I can guarantee it will be done right. Also no waiting. Right now we could have that done in a week or less turn around.

How do you touch up scratches?

There was another thread, about a C&R where the owner was complaining about ceracote changing tolerances and making mag release and other stuff more difficult.

Is that a common complaint?

Can you guys post addresses or links to the places you mention to get Cerakote done please. I may have some specimens that I want done. Also I have been seeing people on MD Shooters recommending getting barrels Nitrited/Nitrided? Who does that and how much?

I did, and I didn't. They did great work!

On black I have tried sharpie perm marker then rub it in with gun oil. It works for fine scratches. Deep marks not so much.

On a properly ceracoated gun light scratches will not be something you will need to be worried about. This finish is extremely durable, and will stand up to pretty much anything you can throw at it. You can find Duffy's and Bollingers in the IP section of the forum. I'll be going up to Duffy's tonight to do a couple rifles, and I always have the time to do ceracoating on a weekly basis. Bring it to Duffy's this week and you will have it back next week.

Duffys does excellent work. They have done many projects for me. I did have Bollingers do a pistol before Duffys started up and it was equally great work. You will not be disappointed with either IP

I'm sure Bollingers and Duffys are great, but if you don't mind spending some extra $$ on shipping, Brad Cummings at Cummings Custom Refinishing (ccrrefinishing.com) does impeccable work and his proprietary finish is quite a bit more durable than cerakote in my experience. He won't get you the fastest turnaround, but his prices are very reasonable.
