Which finish would you use to refinish a rifle?

Postby tnxdshooter » Sat Jan 07, 2012 11:01 am

If you were going to have a rifle refinished would you have it dura coated over a parkerized base or teflon moly coated over a parkerized base? I am kind of leaning towards the teflon moly because I think it would wear better but I would like to get your all's opinions on the matter. I plan to maybe shoot the gun a few times a year and I dont plan to abuse it really. I have heard alot of bad things about dura coat. The funny thing is the refinisher that does the dura coat and the moly around here warrants dura coat for 5 years and the moly for 1 year. I have always thought bake on finishes were more durable than spray on and air dry finishes thus the higher warranty on the dura coat stumps me. Seeing as how a lot of the world's armies today are switching to teflon/moly over parked base for their firearms instead of duracoat that should tell you something. Also, Armory coat from springfield is a moly based coating as is the xcoat from aimpro tactical that do shotguns.
