[QUOTE="spfarr, post: 2039616, member: 44616"] fwiw, i recommend using Smooth Kote, which is a molybendum disulfate treatment - which entails cleaning the barrel down to[B] bare[/B] metal (including using rubbing alcohol to remove any solvent residue), then applying liquid Smooth Kote, letting it dry per instructions, then applying powder Smooth Kote, via patch. After that, cleaning entails using a nylon brush (I use medium and stiff), and dry patches. The treatment needs to be periodically replaced, depending on how much you shoot and what you're shooting, etc. I don't hold myself out as an expert (on anything), but I've had excellent results with all my rifles. And it's also had an added bonus on my kids' rifles -- because cleaning is relatively quick and easy, they get right to it. I first learned about Smooth Kote in John L. Plaster's "Ultimate Sniper" book. Smooth Kote is available at Brownells and MidwayUSA, if i recall correctly. I am not associated with Smooth Kote in any way - just a satisfied user. Good luck with your new rig. [/QUOTE]
