teflon bolt

[bryan]

Has anybody made a teflon bolt for a cocker? Since delrin's coeficcient of friction is .35, and teflons is .07, wouldnt a teflon bolt be better. I looked at the differences in strength between teflon and delrin and they both looked around the same, and teflon costs about the same.
Does anybody know if there is a bolt, or if not why?

actually i dug deeper and i found out that telfon has a rockwell hardness of only like 12 or something, so a bolt of teflon would not be good, however would it be possible to coat a delrin bolt in teflon?

therein lies the problem

the teflon would get stripped off the bolt pretty quick, eh?

Basically, delrin's about as good as it gets.
