I think that for now I'll probably go with the DynaTek. Once I can afford to I'm going to shorten the barrel down to 20-22" and then can look more into a coating.

All you need is a hacksaw and a file.

And a lot of patience

do not use a hacksaw....get it done right so the crown gets done.

the question was already asked....where do you keep it at...
and is it rusting inside the barrel, outside or both?


adding to the soft case holding moisture...the hard cases do it to, especially if left in the sun(case closed), i opened it one day and it was wet!!! inside.

i got luck, unpacking these giant robots i found 5lb bags of moisture remover..like 10 of em..i keep em everywhere where i might keep a gun..the safe, rifle cases, in the gun case, closet and a few at camp.(what we call where we hunt)

they also make drying crystals, every year ya cook em on the stove, they last fer ever.

I was thinking either Dyna-Tek's bore coat and gun shield or else DuraCoat. The Dyna Tek is a lot cheaper and I hate to cover stainless with DuraCoat, but if it's that much better I may try that.
So far I've tried regular gun oil and BC Barricade. The Barricade worked better but I still keep finding little orange specs here and there.
