Default RE: Weather-proofing a rifle????

I would reccommend you a good set of tires for your truck too if you were to ask....

You'd likely expect me to refund your money were you to get a flat...no?

I don't have UBC in my muzzleloader yet but I do have a bottle of it setting on the shelf, bought and paid for as if I were a paying customer, and plan to apply it to my 77/50 based on the testamony I've heard on the testing......

I do have two CF rifles both Cerekoted, and both UBC'd, with the first about three years old and having seen enough rough use to warrant a repeat purchase on the second one. I'm not exactly a part time hunter living in a nice warm/dryclimate.

I can vouch based on that experience that Cerekoted metal will not rust. Cerekote will not chip or scratch not even when beat around in the bottom of a boat or a canoe which happens often here. I can like the fact that I can hunt severalmonths in a row,in the freezing rain and snow and not give one rat's azz about needing to strip/clean/oil....

I've UBC'd, (formerly known as Micro Slick), my two rifles internals, consisting of bolt internals and chamber for the sole reason of protecting those components from corrosion and to slick up the bolt internalsas much as possible...so far that plan has worked.

I've UBC'd my two bores not soley for corrosion prevention, but mainly for rendering them immune to fouling. The boreswere completely stripped of anyprevious copper and once properly treated with UBC have exibited an extreme ease of cleaning to the tune of, a couplepatches wetted with Hoppe's 9, a bore mop wetted with Sweet's, 3 or 4 minutes of wait time, and a wet/dry wash out with alcohol. Doug Burche advertises an 80 to 100% reduction in bore fouling, I hit the 100% mark.....

So yes I can attest to the performance of both products, sourced via hard earned money from a man who does business right, and I'm happy with the return on the investment. I feel zero shame passing on my information to thethose whoask about such things in the first place.

You were saying you had no experience with this sort of stuff, right?
