| What is SMOOTH-KOTE : |
| A fast-drying lubricant and bore treatment
that molecularly bonds to metal protecting against friction and wear. This
revolutionary product is based on molybdenum disulfide technology. The passivated,
sub-micron particles bond to metals for long-lasting lubrication from -65ºF
to +650ºF and prevents residue build-up. The bonded lubrication dramatically
reduces fouling thereby enhancing accuracy, bullet velocity and reliability.
SMOOTH-KOTE eliminates grime with advanced non-stick dry protection that
repels dirt, and allows metal fouling and powder residue to be brushed right
off. |

| SMOOTH-KOTE is a high-performance, dry film-lubricating
replacement for gun oils and bore treatments. It is a proprietary mix of
the best and purest available dry film lubricants in fast-drying, residue-free
isopropyl alcohol (the same as found in rubbing alcohol). These lubricants
have a natural bonding affinity for metal. Sentry's formulation takes advantage
of a synergy among these lubricants to deliver performance superior to the
individual ingredients alone. Isopropyl alcohol is the carrier for the lubricants
and provides cleaning action, then evaporates, allowing the lubricants to
bond to the pores in the clean metal surface. This bonding assures long
lasting effectiveness. SMOOTH-KOTE 's molecular bonding is in part, due
to its sub-micron particles. This is in sharp contrast to other moly containing
products on the market which rely on the pressure between surfaces to force
sub-standard moly into the metal surface. Sentry Solutions uses three different
forms of molybdenum disulfide in its specialty firearms lubricants: SMOOTH-KOTE
, BP2000 Powder and HI-SLIP GREASE. Each form of moly is the highest purity
available but we vary the particle size to attain different bonding characteristics
and functionality. |

| SMOOTH-KOTE is easily applied to all the interior
surfaces of firearms; in addition to lubrication, it gives surfaces a non-stick
coating that not only keeps dirt and residues from adhering, but also makes
cleaning simple. SMOOTH-KOTE is superior to oil and silicone because it
works when dry - and thus will not attract and hold dirt. As a bore treatment,
SMOOTH-KOTE "smoothes the rough spots", thus enhancing velocity and minimizing
fouling - without compromising accuracy. The bonding action of SMOOTH-KOTE
ensures a uniform coating in all barrels and so maintains any barrel's even
interior diameter. Superior to TEFLON (R) containing products which embed
in metal rather than bond. Embedding prevents such products from maintaining
a barrel's diameter and so degrades accuracy even if they reduce fouling.
A bore treatment needs to do more than just reduce fouling and lubricate
to enhance any firearm's accuracy. SMOOTH-KOTE in any bore will increase
the number of rounds fired before any fouling has a chance to occur. |

| DIRECTIONS: |
| BEFORE BEGINNING, ENSURE THE FIREARM IS UNLOADED
AND THAT THERE IS NO LIVE AMMUNITION AT HAND. |
| WE RECOMMEND WEARING GLOVES WHEN WORKING WITH
SMOOTH-KOTE & SOLVENTS. |
| Use gloves if available, otherwise waterless
hand cleaner is suggested for clean up. |
|
|
| NOTE: If using lead ammo, bore may be cleaned
using a bronze brush or if needed, bore solvent. Then re-treat bore with
SMOOTH-KOTE see directions above. |
| |
| NOTE: SMOOTH-KOTE liquid will stain fabrics
and other porous surfaces with which it may come into contact. Use the same
caution as when working with indelible ink. Waterless or powdered hand cleaners
do a good job cleaning skin and fabric, etc. |

| Additional Instructions: |
| As anyone who has observed the magnified image
of a rifled bore knows, no bore is "perfectly" smooth. All lands and groove
surfaces in any bore show some degree of surface imperfection, when viewed
under sufficient magnification. Regardless of the rifling method employed
by the manufacturer, surface irregularities (high points and depressions)
are always present. Bore lapping will reduce but cannot eliminate these
imperfections.
SMOOTH-KOTE improves bore interior smoothness. Proper application of
this product provides a bonded layer of lubricating crystals on the bore's
interior. These crystals offer several advantages:
- A treated bore interior is smoother than the untreated surface
- a smoother surfaces distorts the bullet less and is less apt to tear
pieces from the bullet.
- Compared to bare steel this surface is very slick
- a slicker surface is also less apt to tear the bullet's surface.
- This molecular layer of SMOOTH-KOTE insulates the bore, limiting heat
transfer to the barrel
- a bore that does not get as hot will tend to last longer and is less
apt to spot-weld bullet material to the bore interior.
These factors all reduce metallic bore fouling (consequences of frictional
heating and localized welding). Reduced metallic fouling leads to a reduction
in powder fouling. The net result? Bore treatment with SMOOTH-KOTE enhances
accuracy and has been shown to increase muzzle velocity. |
