Has anyone checked out or used the Otis Life Liner bore treatment and if so what are your impressions of it. Wondering if it is really up to the hype.

If you pay $80.00 for the system. Each purchase will do 4 barrel treatments. Treatments have to be reapplied every 100 rounds or so. If we then figure that a purchase is good for 400 rounds and costs $80.00, then 4 treatments will cost $320.00 and be good for 1600 rounds.
I'm trying to figure out the real savings rather than just getting a new barrel for $300.00. Of course, you have to pay for installation of the barrel if you aren't equipped to install it yourself. If it is true that continued application will STOP barrel erosion, then I suppose it is cost effective.
I would be really interested to see a controlled study on two identical barrels being fired with identical ammo. One barrel treated per manufacturer recommendations, and the other barrel untreated. Then use a bore scope and bullet depth seater gauge to find out when the beginning of the rifling has eroded forward by .002 or any other pre-determined distance.
Then we would be able to tell exactly how well (or not) this system works with the caliber used. For commonality, I would suggest using either 223, or 308 for the testing.

I believe they are advertising that you retreat every 1000 rounds not 100.

Get a Savage. Then you don't need a gunsmith to change barrels. And like Butch said......Snake Oil.
