we charge $50 to do a complete bolt carrier group. We can also do other rifle and pistol bolts also.You got any more info on this? How long’s it last? what’s it cost?

Typically .001.Thx! Any info on the thickness and hardness of the coating?
Typically .001.
Hardness is 9 for micro slick
complete specs can be found at https://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/resources/files/C-110 Micro Slick Product Data Sheet.pdfWhich hardness scale?? Rockwell? Vickers?
We are going back out to test this setup with a can to see how it does in a really dirty environment.
Bummer, I’ll stay with copper pad and dip, but thanks!Pencil Hardness (ASTM D3363) 9h
This is a paint scratch test standard, not really a true hardness test. 9H is soft, and could be scraped off with a pocket knife. If one used this product to coat suppressor components, it would blast away in a few shots.
I have tested coated inconel suppressor components with some high performance micro-films that register their hardness in the Vickers Scale. ( Super Hard ) It was blasted away in a few hours...
I cerakote the tubes and monocores on my suppressors. I have thousands of rounds thru with out any material coming off. Testing upto 338 win mag. Stop by and check them outBummer, I’ll stay with copper pad and dip, but thanks!

Interesting, but not as interesting as coating the baffles and inside tube of a suppressor to simplify cleaning. Think the coating would survive and enable easier cleaning?
Cerakote can be stripped of by sandblasting with garnet sand. Pressure is adjusted for the type of materialHow do you strip Cerakote off of parts if a mistake is made, or one wants to change the color?

The cores and tubes for the .22 rimfire clean pretty easily with standard cerakote. We will be testing microslick on them next week.Does it help with getting them apart and/or cleaning? I’ve got a .22 can with stainless k-baffles that I’d like to test. 338 Win mag probably doesn’t build up much junk.
The coating can be blasted off with a sandblaster and aggressive media, but will withstand repeated blasting from a firearm?? That seems to defy logic... lol
So I cerakoted a suppressor core with blue air cure cerakote and used the can when when i broke in a new 6.5 creedmoor barrel for my ruger precision. Here is what it looked like after 20 rounds.The coating can be blasted off with a sandblaster and aggressive media, but will withstand repeated blasting from a firearm??

I've been waiting for the OP to respond how long the Microslick will hold up but we haven't seen that yet. In my experience, it does not last very long on the contact surfaces such as the four rails on an AR bolt carrier or the side of a 10/22 bolt. It will last awhile on every other surface making cleanup easier. So for reduced friction, it's not worth it. But, for clean up it works great.
