Getting my barrel Ceracoted. Should I clean out the barrel gas port with a drill bit? Not going to use a drill, just going to turn it with my fingers. Or is this necessary?
Should I run the appropriate drill bit in the barrel gas port after Ceracote?

When I used to do Cerakote/Duracoat for a living, I would just avoid getting too much material in the port if it was exposed (usually a gas block was already installed). This method was enough to never have a problem with .223 and AR-10s. Occasionally we'd poke a toothpick into the gas port before coating to mask it up, but I never found it to be a 100% necessary step and I was the one doing function checks on all the guns before they went back to customers. I would assume your applicator probably has a similar mindset, especially if he has to do the re assembly as well."Bugout bag?..What's that? Is that all the junk you sidewalk commandos plan on humping when the SHTF? I'll grab a Nylon 66, a box of 22s and a poncho liner and in less than a week I will have all of your stuff and everything else that I need for the duration."

Nothing but good can happen when you spray ceramic laden epoxy into the bore.
All of the coating I have done involves stripping down every single part as far as you can within reason and masking/plugging all holes and important threads before blasting/degreasing/coating.
