Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Ultra Bore Coat update!!

Bore Coat and Gun Shield saves a lot of cleaning time but it does a couple of other things. I get a call at least once a week from someone that let there kid use there ML and the kid didn't clean it and they didn't check it and now it's a rusty mess. They can salvage the gun and then use the products to protect it. I believe they say you will wind up repeating something 1,000 times before your kids remember it. So even if they have there own ML,and it's a cheapy it will give you time to teach cleaning and they won't ruin your investment. It lets them keep hunting and thats the important thing. Speaking of kids I found my 10" cresent wrench while bagging leaves with the lawn mower.

How many muzzleloaders will a kit treat, breech plug included?

Ditto on the rifle kit, sans breechplug.

Thanks,

Don

It will do one complete long rifle. Plenty for the breech plug "both ends"

A kit will treat the bores in 2 ML including the breech plugs. It has enough Dyna - Shield to coat the outside of one ML with 3 coats. We will offer another kit with just Dyna - Shield. Same for centerfire. The single tube Dyna - Shield kit is also great for treating your line guides on fishing rods. It keeps knife blades and broad heads from rusting as well. Remember you can use Dyna - Shield anywhere you want to prevent rust and reduce friction.

How often do you have to apply the UBC to a muzzleloader?

Bought my first muzzleloader yesterday. I've got a lot to learn.

Hey Doug, Question!

Birchwood Casey Bore scrubber - Gun Scrubber. Will it hurt the Gun Shield / UBC that i put on my Optima?

It sometimes can take a second application after the first 50 rounds. At that point and most of the time after just the first application your good to go.Good luck trying to shoot it out of a muzzle loader.
It won't hurt it a bit. I've poured aircraft paint stripper on it and watched it dry without hurting it. I HAVE NO LIFE!!

LOL hey, you got to experiment in order to find out its limits.

Doug,
Any idea when the smaller kits will be available?

Thanks,

Johnny we should have them by the end of the year. Our smaller tubes just arrived today and will be shipped to the filler next week.

Doug,
Thank you! I am just finishing a couple of flintlocks - so the timing is great.

Have a good Holiday!

Any updates on where to purchase the ML kits? The only kit I can find is the larger one, for $45.

They are being put in the cards as I type this. Should have the first kits in next week and on the website. Cost on these will be $24.95 plus shipping. That kit will coat inside and out.
Doug

Good News! I been waiting for this!

The new Gun Care kits are on the website. $24.95
FYI The only diffrence between the Gun Care kit and the Muzzle Loader Kit is the printing o the package. We did this because most folks will go to the stores looking for a kit that says ML.
If we just marketed the Gun Care kit the phone would ring off the hook and folks would say can I use this on my ML too. Sorry it took so long.

Thanks Doug. Just picked some up. I'll give a report as I have some pitting in my barrel where the powder sits. The rest of the barrel looks good.

Silly question. Did T/C ever use UBC? The reason i ask is my Black Diamond XR had this funny blue tinge to the bore when I got it. Never saw anything like it and the stuff is TOUGH! 1200 round later its gone only from the tops of the lands( a few bore brushings and JB treatments).My buddy's Omega has the same light blue coloring in the bore.

T/C has not used the DBC. What you are seeing is bluing or oxide. I'm not sure which finish they use on that gun. Most makers do not plug the bores when they blue. Unless the plugs are held in they pop out as the air in the bore heats and expands so they just dump them into the tank. DBC is clear.

Thanks Doug. Never saw anything like the blue coloring in the 2 rifles mentioned.The bore on my Diamond is in excellent condition and I have 1220 rounds through her. I only shoot Swiss black powder and sabots. I'm thinking hard about UBC. Would there be any benifit in applying it to the barrel breech threads in terms of easy cleaning and wear protection?

By all means coat the breech threads and breach face. After it's cured for 24 hours put just a touch of grease on the threads and put her back together.
