new ultraslick barrel idea?

Tri-flo

i use it all the time at work. ill have to try it in barrels now:) . i dont figure it will make the gun shoot farther but it will help in barrel breaks. the design of the oil will dry but still stay very slippery. we use it at work for pulling high voltage cable through seal tite.

i can see how it would help with a barrel that is a little too small for paint too. it wouldnt be ideal but it would help ease the friction. im going to have to try it.

i have used rain-x for a long time. but after a fiew breaks (1-2) the rain-x is gon due to the broken paint. the Tri-flo will probably last longer due to its makeup and what it was designed to be used for.

what stores can you buy the Tri-flo at. i use it at work but dont have a clew whare i can buy it. maby work can donate some . they are good about donating other things like high dollar computer programs. i love my job.

TriFlow

I used to use TriFlow all the time in the course of maintaining my mountain bike. You can find it at most any bike shop. It's got a nice fruity smell, too.

yea, there's some horn oil that's basically the same stuff, it smells like strawberrys.

swelling delrin

only untreated white delrin swells a substantial amount. If you boil treated it with color or impregnated black delrin with teflon it would probobly work out ok, but to machine delrin leaves little ridges where the lathe bit passed, it might work if the sleeve was extruded somehow though

The j&j ceramics are teflon coated inside. It also helps, I've been told, to apply rain-x to your barrel. Supposedly you can fire the paint right out. Never tried this personally though.

Car wax also works well. It's a little difficult to wax the inside of the barrel, but once you do get the inside of the barrel waxed, any breaks can be shot out with no problem. (I know this works from experience, with my tippman and mag. Both have a J&J ceramic barrel that I have that I have done this with as well as a CP barrel).
