Cerakote Query


Recommended Posts

Anyone know how to remove a Cerakote finish?  :huh:

 

Sassparilla Kid found an extra barrel for his 1948 vintage 16 ga Model 12.  The finish was a good match for the gun, but unfortunately, it had a messed-up Poly Choke on it.  He removed the Poly Choke, then sent it to a 'smith to have the muzzle cleaned up.  Well, somewhere along the line instructions got mixed up:  when he got it back, the barrel had been turned down at the muzzle and was wearing a Cutts Compensator as well as a Cerakote finish.  :blink: 

 

Uh...

 

Notwithstanding it's good qualities, the Kid does not like Cerakote on a classic firearm.

 

Well, he didn't charge the Kid for the job.  But now the Kid is thinking of sending the barrel to Briley for a proper choke - although it will be pretty short; after removing the Cutts, the barrel is now 24 1/16".  If cut to the step it'll be 23 5/16", which might be okay for dove shooting (non-lead ammo only in California).  AND he's now looking to re-finish the entire gun so everything will match.

 

He also has a Mosin that was "accidentally" Cerakoted... he's wanting to strip and blue that one, too.  

 

So - suggestions on removing the finish??  :mellow:

Sand blasting, well, media blasting is the only way I know of. Solvents will not do it. 
 

Anyone that does Cerakote can remove it for you. I doubt that they would charge much.
