[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1309906, member: 17844"] Do an experiment HBN users. Find some steel pins or make some short steel rod off cuts to approximate a bullet . Clean them up bright and shinny and then coat them with HBN . Leave some on the bench in an open container , leave some outside in the weather and put some in your gun storage area . Leave them and watch to see if any corrosion starts coming to the surface . This approximates what might happen inside the bore under different condition less the powder flame and heat effect as we can't coat inside a tube easily or see inside a tube easily . If no rust starts under the coating of the parts kept inside after several weeks or even months then it's pretty good. [/QUOTE]
