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.

So is this technology legit right now or no? It's surprisingly hard to find a consensus on this online.

Not having to oil the rifle and cleaning it in soap and water and being told the rifle will last longer than traditional AR's is mindfricking me right now.

Clames,
I admit that by nature, I'm usually a skeptic. In addition, I'm fairly ignorant w/ the AR platform. Having said that, I can see where this technology would be helpful for the operation of the action if the claims are true.

I have a question arising from the following quote:
quote:

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 know you're not a spokesman for the company, but I curious what you think.
Are they claiming gun oil inside the barrel turns into carbon once the cartridge is fired?
How is it that this technology to eliminate the need for lubricants in the AR action extends to the bore and the rifling to provide protection to the rifling?

The aforementioned quote seems more "snake oilish" to me than the other claims.
