Is it better to have that done first, and then assemble, or assemble, true/modify everything, and then assemble? I'm thinking i would assemble everything and put a few rounds down range to make sure it is running/shooting like i want, and then disassemble and have it sprayed. This make sense? Does it make a difference?
The Cerakote applicator will need your rifle completely dissembled before he applies cerakote. He will then soak your parts and completely De-grease it. It would be a good idea to make sure your uppers fit , your gas port works with your gas block, and all of your parts that will be cerakoted function before you have them coated. After you have it cerakoted make sure everything still functions and there wasn't any heavy coated areas like the mag well, which can prevent easy insertion and removal of mags.
