muncher Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I took my browning 425 to be cerecoted at Rifle craft in Harelstone ,cant believe how much damage they have done to my favourite wildfowling piece . 1. The safety doesn't work properly it sticks big time . 2. They have glued my isis recoil reducer back onto my stock must have broken the screws and the glue must have run into it and it doesn't move at all now 3. I had recently had the part that locks the gun replaced up not sure of its name ,but the top lever used to go over to far indicating it was worn ,now goes back over to far and I believe he has filed it away to get the gun to shut because off all his over spray . Unfortunately I didn't notice all of this when I picked it up,its good job they are shut now man am I mad ,they are going to get hell tomorrow .

walt1980 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Unfortunately have heard of this before, they'd ceracoated the bolt on a 308! Personally I'd find it hard to recommend them for this service, I'm sure there are plenty of happy customers tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) I wont be sending my auto and 10 off to be ceracoated there then! Edited March 21, 2015 by Big Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I wont be sending my auto and 10 off to be ceracoated there then! I recommend where ever you send them get the barrels straightened first , as it will only crack the coating if you attempt to do it afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 have a look round for someone else if possible, it might be worth going the extra mile. sounds like if they cannot do a proper job just botch it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livefast123 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Poor show. At least the MD seems to be concerned and is doing the right thing at the moment....not that the company should let people loose on firearms that are not up to the job.

walt1980 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 It only just slid in the action! Didn't think coating a apart which is meant to run metal to metal was a great idea? Made the bolt silly tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal 7888 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 once the 2 surfaces lap together they run like glass. just needs a bit of work. Cerakote now do a coating called micro slick which is designed for this task, it acts like a dry lubricant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
