Abstract

The present invention provides compositions and methods for the coating and/or ballistics conditioning of firearm projectiles and firearm components including gun barrels, firearm chambers, fully assembled cartridges, shot gun shells, shotgun wads, shot capsules and sabots with molybdenum disulfide. The composition comprises powdered molybdenum disulfide suspended in a carrier comprising a volatile solvent and a binder selected from cellulosic-, alkyd- and acrylic-resins. Methods for the conditioning of firearm bores by the formation of a hardened layer comprising a product of the reaction or interaction of molybdenum disulfide with materials in the barrel bore are also disclosed.
