Getting a tikka cerekoted

[colersu22]

I had my barrel, action, rail and bolt done and didn’t notice a difference. I also had the bolt fluted by LRI before it was cerakoted and it looks good.

I believe it's the "wrought iron" pattern. I'm sure that there was some weight loss but I don't think it was much. I forgot to weight the bolt before shipping. I didn't do it for the weight loss. Purely for looks. It was so plain looking before...

Yeah, definitely wrought iron. Theyve done three for me. Great work and fast turn around every time.
Very pleased.

I had weighed mine before and after spiral fluting and it dropped a whopping 0.4oz

Anyone get the barrel action and bolt done in tungsten? Would love to see some pictures. Thinking about whether to do the bolt shroud as well or leave it black.

Ended up going with the tungsten cerekote, I think it turned out great. Action is still as smooth as glass.

Very nice! I like the colour.

Not sure if you already mentioned it but can you tell me where you had it done? Looks great!

I just had LRI coat one for me. Slick as stock. Nothing like my rifle that was coated by Hells canyon armory.

Id have no hesitation sending LRI another tikka for a full coat.

Another happy LRI customer. They have another of mine right now.

I had my stainless bolt fluted & cerakoted by LRI and never noticed much of a difference from beforehand. Even if there was some stickyness, I'm sure it would've gone away after a bit of shooting.

That has to be the best bolt fluting job LRI has ever done done. Most of their bolt fluting looks like crap!

Looking to send a tikka off to get some cerakote. you guys are talking about Long rifles inc in SD correct? Thanks!

LRI has Sako they’re spinning up for me.

Anyone have any issues with cerakote chipping?

I’ve had them do 4 bolts of mine and they’ve all looked really good.

Did you send the whole barreled action in or did you have to disassemble it?

I dropped off the stocked barreled action and picked it up. Prairie dogs died in the process. When gas was $1.50 a gallon it was cheaper to drive my wife’s car out than ship the thing.

Also had it threaded and chopped down at the same time.

Iv got some wear on the bolt but that is it on my coated tikkas. I wouldn’t call it chipping but close.
