str8shuutr45 Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 Anyone have any experience with this stuff. I came across an article on it today and it seems interesting. It has a strong appeal to me since the manufacturer claims reduced cleaning. Only a patch with hoppes #9 no brushing or copper solvent.
98Z5V Posted December 6, 2012 Report Posted December 6, 2012 Interesting - haven't heard of it before now. Need to research now... <laughs>EDIT - Just did a short search on it, and I read enough to convince me to try it. <thumbsup>
str8shuutr45 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Posted December 6, 2012 update on original post...I went ahead and coated the bore of my DPMS 308 Mk12. I followed the directions to the letter. I do not believe I have ever had a cleaner bore in any of my firearms prior to coating. I have not had the chance yet to "fire" the bore. I hope to be able to do that in the next few weeks. If this thing works as promised, I will begin the process on other selected rifles and my 1911 wad gun. I'll keep you all posted.

I can't ever remember a rifle shooting more accurately with a fouled bore. Interesting concept...
planeflyer21 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Posted December 6, 2012 Did a search for you: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=Atovb9_0oZTCq5ie8S78HlqbvZx4?p=fouled+rifle+barrel+is+more+accurate&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-701Yup...they are out there. Swear by it also.Jon
str8shuutr45 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Posted December 6, 2012 Ok, I guess I understand their meaning of fouled. When I think of fouled I think of very dirty or filthy. I can now sleep better at night knowing that if I put a dirty barrel away, it'll still hit the broad side of a deer, barn, or tin can.Jeesem...why can't we all just get along <lmao>
98Z5V Posted December 7, 2012 Report Posted December 7, 2012 There's a big difference between stripping copper jacket, which fills imperfections in a barrel, and having excessive carbon buildup. Two different kinds of barrel fouling there. I won't be using any copper removal chemicals in my barrel before I apply this stuff, but I will make sure it's 100% carbon free.
str8shuutr45 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Posted December 7, 2012 From what I've read about this stuff, the whole idea is the "nano-ceramic" wonder-stuff fills the voids that copper ordinarily would. The bore coat also also gives the bore a surface that the copper will not adhere to as much. I still haven't fired my rifle so I really don't know for sure...only time will tell.
