No problem!

I got lost in a blizzard last year for i dont know how many hours, got home, rifle had water inside the forearm, dumped it out, set it to the side while i passed out and never a touch of rust.

Its great stuff that does exactly what they say it does.

My testing of this ML is done. I really like it a lot to tell you the truth. I really only can find two problems. The first is, i wish they offered it in a carbon stock. I much rather use a synthetic stock or the new carbon over laminate for hunting. The second is the bolt design. It's a little harder to prime then a regular Knight conversion but a lot easier then a NULA for example.

The coating has been all it's cracked up to be so far. Makes using 777 a lot easier for me. I shot about 5 shots tonight with 777 and hardly any crud ring at all.

Here's a target below shot at 100yds. I was asked to try some SST'S so i did. I have a hard time using the Leupold Ultimate slam scope at 100yds. The reticle is large for shooting targets but I love it for hunting.

Since you are done you should make that a forum test gun. I volunteer to be next in line.

The coating is very impressive to say the least. I already got one of my Elites done with it. I cant wait to see how it holds up in the bad weather. I might actually buy a cheap gun and coat it and leave it outside for awhile just to see how it holds up. Maybe even just coat a piece of steel or something might be easier and cheaper.
