hard to find a consensus on this online.


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

This is what's really keeping me from buying into it. This would be a game changer in future firearms production and yet it seems to have no buzz. I can't even find many personal reviews from individuals who went out and bought one and raved about it. Wouldn't those be abundant?

It's such an incredible claim that if it's true they should be the talk of the firearms world. But other than a handful of blogs, I can't find shite.

It's probably more of a cost issue since the company that owns this product charges a flat 40% of the value of what is being treated as the cost. Be sure though, if the DoD starts using such a coating, everyone will be offering it in a hurry.

Had it been Noveske,

I think Noveske does do some proprietary coating for lower friction.
