Dyna Tek Bore Coat?

[Wylie1]

Hi,
I have seen mention of this product a few times on the net and was hoping that any of you with experience could chime in and let me know what you think?
I have just acquired the most accurate rifle I have ever fired, it isn't that this rifle is hard to clean, it's the easiest I have ever cleaned. I'd just like to prolong the rifles longevity and maintain accuracy through more rounds as this product has claimed.

So does it really work if applied correctly?

Nobody has used this product?

No. I am not a metallurgist, but I doubt anything that will cling to bore metal that will survive the heat, pressure, and friction of firing bullets.

A Google search shows that it used to be called Ultra Coat.

If the long range silhouette folks are not using it, then it probably has no value.

Thanks Jamie,
I've read of it's previous name and mixed reviews, I was just hoping for some feed back here from actual users.

Granted the RPMs don't match muzzle velocity and it's a different appication but cylinder wall coatings such as Nikasil have made a difference in the auto industry. Okay I'm an optimist.

You are welcome!

Hated to see you hanging!

Kinda feel like I'm talking to myself but...

Okay I didn't clean the bore with Flits or how ever you spell it but put a ton of CR-10 through it, to get the bore as clean as I could like directed. I'm not going to chance a bore that shot a 400 yard group of 2.25 inches this weekend.

Bottom line, snake oil if you ask me

There is one thing that is pretty good. It is called molydisulfide.

If you live in a humid state forget about it. In a dry state like Colorado where I live it has been very good.

You can buy a product called plate+ from a company called sprinco. I have used the product for a few years now and it does make a difference.

I reload so I can adjust the rounds to the barrel. This stuff will slick up your barrel a bit so you may have to adjust to it.

I have treated several trigger actions in pistols and revolvers and it makes em smooth as glass. Does not change the mechanics, just makes them very smooth.

It will reduce the fouling in your barrel very noticeably. If you go through the full process you get the barrel squeaky clean, plug one end, fill it up to the throat (but not the chamber) and let it sit overnight. Then dump it out, run a clean patch thru then a light oil patch. Then after shooting clean as normal and run a few patches wetted with plate+, let it sit for a while then dry and oil. I only use it on my hunting rifles.

Thanks Coltdriver,
This is a hunting rifle, Tikka T3 Lite in a Bell and Carlson Medalist stock and lightly lapped lugs.
Last cleaning after 34 rounds fired took 12 patches, the rifle has had less than 200 rounds through it.
I may just look up the plate stuff. I still have enough Dura Coat for another appication and have made an electronic bore cleaner (for my old Mosin years back) I may try after back tracking on the research I've done on them in the past.

I'll stick this in Rifle for more visibility.

John Barsness mentioned it sometime back. It makes cleaning your barrel much easier and, contrary to opinions, does chemically bond to the metal. How long it lasts is not something I know but it does make for easy cleaning. If your rifle is a dog before the treatment it will still be a dog afterwards, but an easy cleaning one.

My opinion is if you shoot a couple of hundred rounds a year I would try it to see how it works. If you use a box of shells every three or four years its not worth doing.
