[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 3021572, member: 109917"] Has anyone else had issues with their Cerakote turning loose under their rail when bedded to the action? I had a strange random flier on a previously one holer. Started dissecting and the epoxy pulled the outermost layer of Cerakote loose. Granted, I did not Loctite the screws in the action, thinking that the bedding was sufficient, I was wrong. I suspect that the epoxie shrank over time and turned loose. I replaced the aluminum rail with a stainless version and glass beaded the rail and the action and permanently epoxied them together with a low shrinkage epoxy. I deal with aluminum corrosion expansion almost daily and it's not pretty, so I didn't want to expose raw aluminum to the elements. [/QUOTE]
