[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1793464, member: 13632"] Cerakote will give you a nice matte black when using armor black, I match nitrided actions all the time and you can't tell the difference between the two. IF Cerakote is done right it adds .0005 to .001 which on any factory gun makes them run way better. There are a couple custom actions that are tight like a Borden and you can Cerakote the action but leave the center body of the bolt and it'll run good. Many of the sticky issues are due to running with a bunch of oil or grease, Cerakote runs excellent dry on it's self cause that's what it's made to do OR the applicator uses air cure and does not allow the time to fully cure. Cerakote is baked at 300 degrees for an hour or 200 degrees for 2 horus, nitride is done at 900-1100 depending on the company doing the process. [/QUOTE]
