Im getting a rifle built and it has a blued receiver and is going to have a stainless barrel.I was wondering on what kind of coating you guys have put on rifles. I have been thinking either duracoat or some type of teflon finish. I wanted it in a matte black. ANy ideas?

Ceracoat would be my first choice.

Look at choices then you decide ;

Ditto on ceracoat. Looks good and very tough.. The lug seats of my Pierce receiver were coated, and the finish was still there when the bbl was pulled after 200 rounds. I'm thinking I'll never have a galling problem with that action.

Consider the Robar finishes also.

QPQ .... as hard as it gets, no rust, no scratches...

I've gopt Black Teflon coated rifles and Black Gun Kote coated rifles - both work just fine and look good.

Anything that doesn't look like a paint job.

Does anyone QPQ finish a rifle in the US?

Recently has 260 Kimber Montana cerakoted. Graphite black. I am very impressed. Lifetime guarantee - not sure if it's mine or the rifle's

Cheers, Chris

I, too, will have this dilemma, as I'm getting a new Douglas Premium tube on the .300, in stainless.I'll need to get my stock hogged out to fit the barrel, too.

Bad pic but the finish is tough as nails and looks like good matte bluing
