I was talking to one of my co-workers the other day. since we work at a metal finishing company and do a lot of work for the aerospace and firearm industry, the conversation turned to guns. I was talking about how i had been working on the reliability of my 1911 by polishing the internals. he mentioned adding a nickel teflon coating, which sounded like a good idea for areas like the feed ramp and other areas that contact the round. but i got to thinking of some other coatings that we offer. we do a spray coating called dry film lubricant. it is dry but offers great lubricity. it is currently used on internal combustion automotive engines, and rotating parts of many pratt and whitney jet engines. does anyone think this would be a good coating for maybe in between the slide and frame? maybe the trigger or any other friction points that dont get impacted, only rubbed against.
is anything like this used in firearms that you know of?
just a little brainstorming, thanks in advance.
