You could coat the suppressor in DGS instead of DBC, which also leaves a slick surface.

A sister product, Dyna Tek Gun Shield, works great, too.
I have a bead blasted SS barrel that seemed to show every smudge, etc. until I did the three coating treatment with Gun Shield. It's now feels super slick and isn't affected by much.
I'm wondering if treating a rifle bolt with Gun Shield would make the action feel slicker. Anyone tried that?

Yeah, it does make a difference. Some bolts get slicker than others after treatment.

Dave,
Have you gotten down to "bedrock" yet on those barrels? John, I thought I was getting there but yesterday when I punched the bores with alcohol I got more blue patches. I'm letting them soak over night and have been. I used Patchout the day before instead of Copper Killer. The Patchout is getting more copper out. Just some light blue now on the patches. I'll keep doing it until I get two soaks without any sign of copper. Thanks for your help. Dave Ha! I had a similar situation with my Model 70 270 WSM. It was a fouling bitch until I did a DBC job on it, and it took me 2 days to get down to "bedrock". I didn't do any long soaks, maybe I should have. Anyway, it was worth the elbow grease. That rifle was always a tack-driver, but now it does it for longer. Much longer.

I polish my rifle bolts with Wheeler grinding compound (or something similar) or at least have on some of my favorites. I also lap the lugs. I'm pretty sure I have not polished the lugs enough that a no-go would chamber. I have done this at the same time until the lugs look like they are sharing the thrust.
This DBC 'sounds anyhow' like it would shorten the work on smoothing the bolt "action". Obviously though would not help on the lug lapping.
Yes the manufacturer I'm most familiar with shot every rifle first with testing with a high pressure 'proof' round and then tested them for grouping ability. If either failed they were scrapped. Although I never saw one actually scrapped due to failure to handle the high pressure "proof" load.
I prefer classic.
