| Are any C.E. owners experiencing Cerakote or Paint chip on their rifle? Especially underneath the charging handle? or anywhere else? |

| I too have found that when I shoot my rifles and pistols that the exterior finish "wears" off. Is this normal when two pieces of metal contact each other repeatedly under use? I thought weapons were primarily to look cool, show off to my buddies, take face book pics with, and make YouTube videos pretending to know what I'm talking about. WTF!? Help me please |

are these cerakoted? Thought it was a different coating. I know costa's rifle is actually cerakote and thought the costa editions were gunkote. is there a difference in the way the coatings hold up? Actually the two rifles we provided Chris were both KG coated, exactly like what we are providing customers. |

Is there a difference between the two coatings or are they both ceramic-based? Joint force enterprises shows costa's predatobr as having cerakote on their FB and website so not sure what this all means. here & here |

The latest two were KG. |
I simply asked the question because I wanted to know how durable the Cerakote technology is. I am aware of how physics works and that wear and tear would come over a period of time but this is a specific question about Cerekote. Thank you for all the inputs especially the informative and useful ones. For those who were upset with the question, there's no reason to be rude and sarcastic about it.

First time in the LaRue section of the forum?
Wear from regular use is one thing ... Chipping is another. "Gun Kote, applied properly will not chip, crack or peel. Going back through the preparation process will usually find the issue that caused the problem." - KGCoatings I'd be interested to see a picture of the area you're talking about. Curious to see if it's chipping or just normal wear. I would assume it's normal wear and not actual chipping of the KG finish. |

Costa thread ...... Check Possible slight complaint.....Check Troll who said he would never post again in the Larue forum.....Check Good to see ya LeonC! 
In before the it's overpriced comment. Where did I say I wouldn't post in this part of the forum? I said I would no longer post in that specific thread, as it was derailed beyond redemption (as you're trying to do once more) thanks to you and other fanboys that have nothing to contribute but insults. Literacy is key. How could I resist coming in here? After reading a few posts from fanboys and LaRue I instantly feel like a "rocket appliancist"
