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.

The technology is legit. RF85 is probably better known in motorsports and has shown to pretty much deliver on the reduced friction and wear claims. The DoD has been conducting reseach on this stuff (dry lubricant coatings) for decades and some existing commercial products are showing a lot of promise in terms of providing a realistic solution. I would never use soap and water to clean a weapon no matter what the coating technology promised.

I believe it is possible that RF85 has its merits, however the lack of 'holy shite' in the industry is the biggest hang up for me as well. Which is why I say I wouldn't pay extra for it right now. I feel like if it really was the bee's knees then everyone would be talking about it. However, this could also be because it is Anderson that came out with it. Had it been Noveske, DD, BCM, etc., who have a knack for marketing and a large fanboy base, it would no doubt be the biggest thing since Carpenter 158
