XADO - Barrel Reconditioner

[zemlinrt]

Has anyone tired this stuff before or heard of it? Down towards the bottom of the page they have some for firearms. On other sites I've seen, there are 3 gels to use for the total process.

Looking at reconditioning my SKS barrel.

Be kinda interesting to use it in a worn barrel and a chronograph to see what it really does. My guess is it is a buncha BS. Who knows, I might be the one full of it, but stuff like this comes along every now and then for cars at least, and BS is what they usually are.
Do they give a money back guarantee?

It says it is a ceramic compound that polymerizes with metal. That means it will add dimension to the metal. Definitely not for good rifle barrels. On the other hand, it might be interesting as a coating for wear areas, like action ways.

I'd imagine it would be good for barrels with bad pitting. You're suppose to brush the barrel and bullet with the first gel and then fire it, repeat 10 times and then do the same with the last two gels. The bullet acts like a squeegee. My only concern is when you fire it, all the fouling will get trapped in with the gel.

Hey, it's an SKS, what can it hurt?
On the other hand, how can you tell if it helps?

How do you keep that stuff from blowing through the gas port and fouling the piston?
