badsworth Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Does anyone have any views on using them? The theory sounds good, but I have looked on several American forums and the general view is 'don't touch 'em'. It seems moly coated barrels have a tendency to retain humidity and rust badly. They are also extremely difficult to clean and need more fouling shots before accuracy is obtained. Any thoughts folks? B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yup I use them and love 'em In .222 cal they shoot very fine groups. Best so far was a 3 shot group under the size of a five pence at 100 meters. The gun cleans fine if you allow some barrel solvent to soak for a minute, quick scrub, then a good few barrel patches. As said above, if you use these, stick to them and allow your barrel to settle down with them. You either love them or hate them, like Marmite.
