JB's day job is to fool with rifles, as where I don't have time to sort out which barrels need help and which don't, so while I didn't always do it this way, now they all get treated right out the gate since I've never seen DBC be detrimental to any barrel yet, so I figure it can't hurt. It doesn't take me long to get brand new barrels clean to bare steel, and I would be running a couple of patches down anyway to clean up any metal shavings, and applying the coating takes an extra 5 minutes.

I'm sure JB doesn't mind us having diverging thoughts when it comes to a preference issue. Now if this was a technical disagreement we'd be in trouble grin
