[QUOTE="September life, post: 1929313, member: 114690"] I had oregon mountain rifle build me a 300 prc. Here is the run down. I had high hopes for this company. It started out great! Then I was called saying my gun was ready. I went and picked it up looked great. I noticed the bolt that I had cerakoted had a chip in the back that had been colored in with a sharpie trying to hide it. Lee said after season he would meet me at the cerakote shop to drop it off and have the barrel engraving done. The engraving should have been done before i was told it was done. I got the gun home started looking it over and found the chamber extremely dirty with metal and media from cerakote. The bolt was really tight. Lee said just cycle it to wear the cerakote down it will smooth out. While doing that the bolt stuck closed. I called him and he immediately got defensive saying i did something. I took the gun back. Had to take the gun apart to get the bolt free. He then said its a old bolt probably need a different one. I know that gun didn't have many rounds through it. So I asked about taking it apart to clean it because it felt like grit in it. He didn't know how to take a Remington 700 bolt apart i had to show him and help. Any gun builder should know this.
