[QUOTE="littletoes, post: 54761, member: 579"] So, we want to pre-coat our rifle barrels, but maybe we don't want to use moly, or maybe we do. That may be a hard question to follow, or answer. I have heard that shooters who use shooters choice/kroil mix of two to one have desireable results too. I always clean a new barrel, because i don't think they do at the factory. There may be some tiny metal chips in there, and i don't want to send a high velocity round throug there to scratch things up. But back to barrel prep, prior to break in or shooting. I have heard of alcohol/moly being used, but still am not convinced. The water/moly thing scares me. There must be something else out there that might work, and is available. I only wish i had a bore scope and the time and money to know for sure. I hope this does start a debate, how else are ideas born! I don't know if I care for the "steel wool" idea. Sending anything down a bore that might be as hard as the bore worys me too. Why not just lapp like the big boys do? Anyone can get lapping compound, and all the big barrel man. do it, so it seems. Opinions? [/QUOTE]
