Hey BP glad to hear from you brother. I know what you mean. It just doesn't make any sense with this problem. I can't believe I am the only person having this problem!!! If I can't them to help on this, I will get the coating off and press on with a great shooting gun. They have a great product, but please get rid of the coating or get it done correctly.
What buggs the hell out of me is that if this would happen to anyone, it will invariably be me!!! Im the type of guy who gets in a long line at the bank and just before I get to the teller window, she puts up the "Out to lunch" sign!!! If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any.

No.. I do not trying to say that at all... If you like the gun; shoot!! If I liked the gun - it would be terribly hard to give it up.
I am just thinking, and I do not know for sure at all, but there must be a reason thay are adding the coating to the rifle. That is not a inexpensive operation... The other thing I would suggest... I think stainless is the preferred option for many people... CVA has to know this, I know that TC does, but the cost of stainless creates a problem when you are trying to offer a less expensive ML.
There is also another possibility that comes to mind... Since the recieiver is aluminum and the barrel is stainless are they just trying to match the aluminum color of the reciever to the stainless color on the barrel. In that case a coating would be the perfect answer cosmetic answer.
Whatever it is still the pits if the coating will not stay on.
The guys that apply Black Ice Coatings seem to have that problem whipped.

Im sure the SS CVA uses is of good grade, it was just a bad idea to coat them.

it's the same rifle with a black coating instead of camo ... my personal opinion is that coatings suck.

Hey guys, I have been talking to Carlos. He is the gentleman who sold me the rifle. He is helping me with this problem and will let everyone know what happens. Hopefully it ain't the fecal matter kind!!!
He told me that he has the same rifle but with the black coating and he has fired his over 100 times with no signs of chipping. So far I have not fired the new gun and am waiting to hear from Carlos. Later gang.
