Incredible Lubricant Protective Product

I was wondering if anyone has tried Microlon? I used it for a decade in all my cars and spotted that they had a gun product line as well. It is the most amazing product for guns I have ever seen, I'll sound like a gushing idiot if I try to fully describe what all it does. It turns out that even though it was marketed for decades as a motor oil product for enhancing moving surfaces it was created by the founder specifically for rifles.

The inventor was putting the heat to wildcat cartridges to the degree that he was burning out barrels in 200 rounds. He developed this product and found that he could load to levels that wasted barrels in a few hundred shots and the treated barrels were displaying none of the burning they would have without it even after thousands of rounds.

Believe me I understand everyone wants to ward this off with the sign of a cross when talking about tampering with beloved guns, but I tried it in ones I wasn't worried about and ended up considering it standard for everything including the likes of Anschutz and my favorite pistols.

In a semi auto pistol it smooths the cocking and slide action way beyond what you can believe is possible. It takes the worst copper fouling culprits and eliminates the copper fouling entirely.

Now get this, in the application process to the bore the proof of enough is also your indisputable evidence it does what it says it will in terms of velocity. As you shoot a bullet through a swabbed bore you are doing it at a range. On a rifle that you have sighted in and dialed the zero where you want each shot will rise a bit every time you shoot another bullet through a newly swabbed bore.

I recommended this on a varmint hunter's site, and those willing to try it admitted right off the bat that if it did nothing more than smooth up an action the way it does they would be 100% satisfied with it.

On a treated bore you will notice your patch runs through the bore significantly easier and cleaning acts more like the final patches you used to run after cleaning a rifle. It's amazing stuff, cheap, and well worth trying on something you aren't so worried about. Oh, and it does not build up anything on the barrel, it acts more to fill in and smooth the surface structure, the website shows better how it works.

It bumps velocities about 10% which is proved out well by the way your bullet POI rises as the barrel is fully treated, there is only one thing that could change the impact point on a zeroed rifle and that's increased velocity.

I am not affiliated in any way with this company, it's just wanting to share one of the most effective products I've ever seen in the gun industry.
 
I've used it to lube magazine tubes, where I want a slick surface but nothing to attract dirt or other junk. In that application I've been very pleased with it.

Don't know if the product works or not, since I haven't used it.

As a note though...

A slicker barrel will usually cause lower velocities with the same powder charge. Less friction causes less resistance, which cuts pressure and velocities suffer.

Which can be remedied with higher doses of powder if one handloads and knows what they are doing.

But that would hold true to your reported results. Lower velocities will generally cause a bullet to hit higher than the same bullet at higher velocities. This is due to the affects of recoil on the bullet being in the barrel slightly longer.

Moly bullets have this same phenomenon. They can be pushed faster than non-moly bullets in many cases, but shoot slower with the same powder charge. To get higher velocities, you have to increase the amount of powder.

There is much to learn in the world of ballistics.

I never looked or thought of it that way, interesting.

I did a Microlon precision oiling pen on a few of my revolver on the moving parts, it's hard to say if it made much of a difference as far as actuation of the moving parts weather it made an easier trigger pull, maybe a little better, maybe.

I do have some Gun Juice but never used it. Daryl has me wondering if I should even try it. If I did it would be a .357 5" or my S&W .38 Airweight snub using +P for carry. One of my .357 5"s I have has polygonel rifling.
 
T&Es of CLPs...

To me, it's honestly hard to really test or eval most common firearm CLPs like Mpro7, Breakfree, Eezox, Gunzilla, Weaponshield, etc.
Unless you live and/or work in the bottom of the ocean or go around from 110 degree deserts to the -150 degree snowbanks of the North Pole, you'd be hard pressed to say one brand is far better or lasts longer than another.
I can't speak for every gun owner, LE officer or service member, but I'd say the main purposes of a CLP is to protect a weapon's surface and to provide smooth, problem free function or feeding. A broken firearm could get you killed. A firearm with rust, gunk, or dust/sand could clog up and get you killed.
Too much CLP, grease or oil can be bad also, ;). The main concern should be regular inspections & service to make sure the firearm is ready.
