i found this stuff online that claims to refinish and repair worn out and pitted barrels on this website .http://www.umpquaenergy.com/xado/whitepaper.html
as anybody used this stuff i'd like to find out if it works.it's aslo used to repair engines and all kind of worn out metal parts .??????????????read the bottom of the page for use on weaponry
it seems like it's activated by heat and presure and should be used in the barrel then fired a certain amount of shot using three different compound one after the other.what do you think ?
INTRODUCTION
Xado Technology, Ltd is one of the first corporations founded in Ukraine. This company was fortunate enough to receive the patent for the revolutionary XADO technology. Xado Chemical Concern currently employs more than 1500 specialists, engineers and staff. Their focus is high technology. Their products are on the cutting edge of lubricant and surface modification technology.
Xado technology is based on a synthesized blend of minerals coupled with a catalyst. When Xado is introduced into a mechanical system it coats the friction pairs with a blend of ceramic mixed with worn metal it has scavenged from the system (cermet). This coating grows in the presence of friction. When the friction has been reduced enough, the growth stops. This results in a 'custom' fit between the moving parts of a system. Tolerances are optimized, offsetting the inherent play present in mass produced machinery. The surface of the Xado coating is several times harder than steel, with a surface as smooth as if it had been highly polished. It is also extremely resistant to corrosion, so the parts fit better, run smoother and last longer. They also produce less heat when working
claims:
25. Tell me about XADO for firearms.
Revitalizing a rifle barrel provides the following: geometry restoration (complete shuttering) and protection from bore surface wear; maximum hitting force for the given type of ammunition; a 10 fold increase in wear resistance and barrel life; an increase in firing flatness, but the key factor is an increase in firing accuracy by 2 to 3 fold!
26. Is any preliminary preparation of the barrel needed prior to revitalizing?
No special preparation is needed. Standard cleaning of the bore is enough.
27. What is the critical barrel wear, at which XADO will fail to help?
The XADO revitalizant improves the firing performance of firearms at any degree of wear.
28. What is the service life of a reconditioned barrel?
A special experiment was needed to answer this question. First, a new chromised barrel was revitalized. Though the barrel spread characteristics complied with the standard, the firing accuracy increased by 23 % after treatment with XADO! Next, live tests were started. This meant firing 200 tracer rounds in succession. The firearm became so sizzling hot that the stock varnish coating began running. It was cooled in the simplest way by dipping into a bucket with water. Everybody waited with impatience for the results of the test. Skeptics wagered that the coating wouldn't withstand the extreme temperature drops and would simply peel off. The results surprised even the developers! The firing accuracy increased additionally by 46.6 %!
The service life tests carried out at the Rzhevsk test grounds allows us to claim that the service life is 10,000 shots with no loss of improved performance.
Under normal loads, you'll be able to keep the barrel in an ideal condition at all times by treating it once a year with the green gel (10 shots).
29. Does the treated barrel need any maintenance?
No special maintenance is required. Moreover, the protected inner surface of the barrel is subject less to corrosion attack than conventional coatings are.
30. Does it make any difference whether the barrel is chromised, or not?
The revitalizant improves the shooting characteristics of a barrel with any coatings, both chromised, and not.
Name: Gel Revitalizant for barrels of rifled firearms of all types. Set of 3 gels.
Designed for restoring repair and wear protection of barrels of rifled arms of any type. The gel-revitalizant restores the geometry of the barrel bore. As a result you get a high accuracy arm with extended resource. Advantages
increases accuracy of hits up to 80% on 100 m target;
improves flatness of shots;
enhances wear resistance and barrel endurance by 10 times;
maximum killing power for the given type of ammunition;
reconditions and protects the barrel bore against wear;
restores geometry of the barrel bore (complete obturation).
Test results of “Rzhevka” fire-arms
It is natural that the specialists seized the unique opportunity to improve the accuracy of shots.
The certified testing laboratory “Rzhevka”, department 33491, together with the editors of the magazine “Kalashnikov. Weapon. Ammunition. Arming” tested XADO-revitalizants. The effect of the revitalizant was examined on different arms: new and worn-out, chrome and non-chrome barrels.
In order to avoid distinct errors of aiming point during testing only one highly skilled rifleman was chosen to perform shooting. The shooting of each arm lasted one day (except shootings carried out after XADO treatment in three months). In order to examine the characteristics of the bullet spreading, the shootings were performed with SVD and “Tigers” with regular optical sights and with SKS.
Each time the rifleman made three shooting groups, each group - ten shots. The tests of the SKS resource were performed with 200 shots with a mixture of cartridges: regular and tracer (T-45) bullets in proportion 4:1. The test report: “XADO revitalizant for barrels of rifled arms has high-performance restoring repair properties. It improves the characteristics of bullet spreading by both new and worn-out barrels of hunting rifles”.
Application:
The treatment consists of three steps. Use the gel of the appropriate colour for each step!
Step 1 (10 shots)
Use a rifle brush to apply red gel to the inner barrel surface.
Apply the gel to the bullet surface protruding out of the cartridge.
Fire once.
Repeat items 1 and 2 and fire again no less than nine times.
Step 2 (10 shots)
Treat the barrel bore and the bullet with the yellow gel and fire no less than ten times.
Step 3 (10 shots)
Apply green gel and fire no less than ten times.
Notes:
Treat new barrels with the green gel making 10 shots.
For preventive maintenance of restored barrels it is recommended to treat the barrels with the green gel making ten shots once a year or with the same gel making ten shots after every 1000 shots.
