It lasts quite a bit longer than that when unopened, even when stored in the basement at room temperature.

I keep mine in the fridge. Seems I remember something about it lasting longer.

Tried giving this stuff away 3 years ago, no takers.

There is some really good pressure in there from the solvent gassing off over 5+ years so going to end up like this

I had a several year old unopened bottle leak out its contents.

I have seen it last long and also had it leak.

I have an unopened bottle over 10 years old and there is still liquid sloshing inside but as noted it can and does leak.

It's a good idea to use it and not store it long term. Very much avoid storage in a high temp enviroment.

It's good stuff so get it in the bore and on the gun sooner rather than later.

Bore Coat seems to help barrels with firecracking in the throat/leade so don't be afraid to recoat a bore that is seeing some wear.

Nope.
It was getting close to Turkey Season, so I tabled the issue until mid-May.
I'd still like to find bore coat.

2-Jen-Tek Industries... $39.50 per 4oz and $56.00 per 8oz plus shipping on each bottle. 816-944-9045

The Jen-Tek Industries sounds like a good deal. Does anyone have experience with Jen-Tek? Also, the lady I talked with at Jen-Tek says their product is better than Dyna-Tek because the Jen-Tek has more ceramics in it.

If I'm not mistaken dyna tek was being made originally by NIC!

Called the number for Dyna Tek, selected option 2 for marketing and the gentleman who answered confirmed Dyna Tek would be happy to sell some DBC to anyone. He did suggest that the easiest way to go about it was to go their website and send an inquiry via email.

Will be very interested in how that turns out.

I will too. I treated a bunch of rifles with that product years ago and have been very pleased with the results. For the first time in a long while I would like to get some again. Placing an order by contact via email seems at least unusual.

Would prepping a rimfire barrel for DBC or similar differ from the supplied instructions that come with the stuff?

Edit: what would be the accepted/best way to keep the DBC out of a .22LR chamber when applying it to the bore?

I emailed the info address at Dynamic-Tek and got the reply below. I’m going to order some and we’ll see what happens. I don’t expect any problems.

“Good Morning,

Yes, we have plenty of Bore Coat available. To place an order just reply with the quantities you would like to order and the shipping address. Once I receive your order, I will send you a online payment link to complete. Once the payment is complete you will receive a receipt and tracking information. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

I got pretty much the same info Al got when I talked to Wes on the phone this afternoon. In addition, if I understand Wes correctly, they are getting ready to market a whole line of products aimed at the outdoor sportsman (shooting/hunting/fishing) market. So we may be seeing DBC and other dyna-tek products at retailers and webtailers in the near future.

If it was any good ....it would not get old and leak out. It would be used up.

I spent some time and money fooling with that snake oil.

I did not care for the results one bit.

Whatever. I treated a bunch of rifles with this years ago and have seen clear benefits. I’ve got a few new barrels to treat and I look forward to getting some more of the product.

It’s so good that, in most cases, it only needs to be applied once to each barrel. For guys that don’t shoot out or buy many barrels, the bottle goes a long way and the contents may go bad before being used up.

Guys that shoot a lot go through many bottles and it never hangs around long enough to go bad.

Or have several (6-7 ) guns to treat. I think I have enough left for one more. What do you think I should buy to use it up on?? smile

I haven't done enough shooting/cleaning to have an opinion on its effectiveness yet, but it comes recommended well by some who do.

I treated the barrel on my 6.8 SPC AR15 in 2016. I did not refrigerate the left over, it did not leak out and it did not go bad.
