[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1173555, member: 80699"] I have a new bolt action rifle that I bought that I have intended from the beginning to cerekote. I just wanted to verify that it was accurate enough before investing in the process. It appears to meet my needs, so I went by my local place and talked about the process etc. They talked about disassembly, going into an oven, grease outgassing from the barrel junction, making sure the face of the bolt, or maybe it was the lugs, are not left coated etc. And I began to wonder if this was a good idea. Could this process ruin what I already have? Of course, they assure me it won't, but.... I see various manufacturers are cerekoting their stuff....is this done before or after assembly? Has anyone heard of the process having an adverse effect? In case you wonder why I am paranoid...had a 270 that was so accurate, I don't usually tell people how accurate it was because I they won't believe me, but my friends all knew this rifle. It was great. But the stock was not on quite straight and every year, it's wood would warp just a little and the POI would keep moving. Finally, I decided to have that barrel channel opened up a bit to 'solve that problem'. Hill Country did it for me and low and behold. It started shooting horribly (relatively speaking). When I talked to them, they said it was probably pressure bedding diagonally and it shot well that way. They suggested bringing it back and they would figure it out etc. Never did, moved it on down the road. But left me a little paranoid over messing with a good thing. So I thought I should check before ruining another great shooter [IMG]http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif[/IMG] Thanks! [/QUOTE]
