Anderson rifles and RF85 technology

Doing some research on AR's and stumbled across Anderson Rifles and the mention of this new RF85 technology that supposedly reduces friction to such an extent that one doesn't need to oil the gun. Sounded like BS to me but then I found some articles like this one: LINK
So what's the story on these? Legit or no? Anyone have one?
I don't keep up with the modern firearms market but am looking to get an AR. Surely if this is legitimate it would be generating mass attention in the firearms world but I'd never heard of it until last night.

“We shoot a lot of rifles during the course of a year and this rifle is truly revolutionizing the shooting sports industry,” says Bill Rogers, executive producer of the television show American Outdoors. “Because of their nano technology, that embeds at the molecular level in the gun, their treatment reduces friction by 85% and forms a protective barrier that eliminates the need for lubrication. And because the gun requires no lubrication, there is no oil present which would normally turn into tough-to-clean carbon once the gun is fired. As a result, the gun runs cleaner longer, the rifling in the barrel remains true and the gun cleans up in minutes in just soap and water. I see this as the #1 selling rifle in 2016,” adds Rogers.

And that sounds like something Anderson would pay him to say.
At this point I wouldn't pay for it.

We ran a RF85 upper on full auto to test it out. It ran great with easy cleanup.
Only reason I can see for it not being popular is the $200 added cost to a complete upper.

Lot of snake oils out there but this stuff, along with some other, military-tested, durable solid lubricant technologies seem to actually deliver on their promises. Might not be as far fetched as some of you might think that no-lube ARs might be closer to reality than not. I'll tell you all one thing, this stuff and a few DLCs are worth looking at compared to the nitride/carbide/electro/electroless/spray-/dip-cure coatings some seem to waste their money on around here.

Seems like a load of bullshite based on that write-up. That technical info dump that ol boy gave seemed like one of those "hey, say this and we'll pay you" deals.
Just based off the link, seems like snake oil bullshite to me. I'll read more into it, but that "award" was unabashedly bought and paid for

Here you are still researching an AR. Didn't want to pull the trigger on Pledgewards?
