The following is a close transcript, but from notes and memory, not necessarily in order from today's phone conversation:

From Camp Perry

"Back from Camp Perry 2001: 3rd season and 3000 rounds through this custom built M1 Garand from Clint McKee and a MolyFusion-treated Krieger barrel. It shoots better now than it did when new. (The rifle does). I shot .82 MOA free hand at 100 yards sighting it. Jim Owens (who was with me) and the Marine Long Distance Gunnery Sergeant (the Marine team is the only team allowed to bring their equipment Van to the firing line area), viewed the bore, throat, and crown under high-powered microscope-bore scope, and they swore the barrel appeared new, in excellent condition, not 3000 rounds of life in it. Jonathan, clearly your product is great! It doesn't foul. After my first 40 shots at the line, I had the urge to run a patch with Shootersolutions through the bore. The patch came out really nice: slight gray. The precision shooter next to me, B Hoffman wowed that it should be black. After finishing, I ran another patch through it and it came out even lighter in color as it did after 40 rounds! A well-known shooter took a look at my bore after shooting, and he asked jokingly if I was shooting it. It shoots at higher fps than before treatment, and what it should give: it means shooting flatter, which makes adjustment between positions easier, kind of what the .243 gives David Tubbs: two less clicks of height, while maintaining the weight advantage of the .30 caliber for wind. I didn't believe you that MolyFusion was any good two years ago, so I bought your $75.00 Kit: MolyFusion and ShooterSolutions. How could I go wrong? You were asking nothing for something that is worked a tiny fraction as good as you said it would be worth your price. So I started with rifles and shooting I cared the least about, expecting failure: First my 1855 Harpers Ferry 55 Cal that had a 4J'st Bill Large 55 barrel, and I used it in a NSSA Black Powder Match. I noticed it turned in amazing groups. This and the second test rifle into smokeless powder-type groups! I could get them to print!! Real easy to use shooters. I've written about this already. Now for more testing. If it could make these "smoke holes" perform the nuts, it was time for me to do more testing. But one step at a time. The next thing was a "club" M1 Garand that was to be auctioned off anyway - it would be no loss -. This thing was so old and in such bad shape that "when you shook it lightly it rattled." And it definitely tightened up the groups greatly I could get from the shot-out bore: with oversized a-few-thousandths bullets, and elongated a tad to get to the rifling better, yet survive rapid fire (I had to cycle the final three rounds by hand in the match) my score from the combination of the MolyFusion/Sweetshooter and what I did went from a too low, below-400 score to 451 of 500 score!! Which is crazy compared to scores from my buddies in the 420's of 500 with fine-tuned competition rifles: not "Junkers" like the one I had. If your stuff was that good: now to try it on the custom gun before my next shoot. I personally went to Clint to pick up my new custom so I would have time to treat it before my next shoot. [Maybe it could create platinum out of it.]

So I next cleaned it extremely, to remove all copper and treated my match M1 Garand I have now used for three Camp Perry's now. Note: twice a year I send it back to Clint for fine-tuning, and I do a quick re-treatment with MolyFusion twice a year also. (I shoot alot). I also have treated the well of the M1 Garand where the clips insert so this is not a problem in rapid-fire. Jonathan, after three seasons from when I first bought my $50.00 kit of MolyFusion from you, I am about out and I will be ordering more when I treat my custom M14 from Clint. What Clint and I have concluded is after three seasons and 2000 rounds this firearm is behaving better than it did as brand new and freshly treated with your products. I am retiring it after three seasons (you can call me crazy) just because I want to try it in another gas-action firearm, my favorite. What I am amazed at is your products combined with Clint resurrected an old old-style firearm to compete well. I get more velocity than I am supposed to, so it shoots more flat-trajectory than before, so functionally as to lack of special click adjustments due to trajectory line of sight differences between seated and standing, like the latest 6mm (.243) David Tubbs report. I've got $2600.00 total into this gun, I've bought the original kit from you and 6 more cans of Sweetshooter, and your stuff is well worth the money: and far less expensive than Moly-coating. There were big arguments this time as to the bore-scope evidence that Moly-powder is corroding out and pitting fine barrels. I agree: Moly-disulphide is obsolete after use of your products unless needed for mechanical reasons, like a bad bore to start with. (Something to fill the voids or air-flight). It appears a cleaner bore and fitted ammo is better. [This is what I told Lou was true when he purchased it in 1999]. I told some high power shooters I got my stuff from [Derry] New Hampshire. I will be sending you targets, still pictures and video. I'm not a scientist, so I don't understand what MolyFusion does - I just know for a fact, that your products work amazing. I'm sure glad I took the chance three years ago (It was inexpensive: $50.00 is nothing, in shooting, if it is any good). I have two bottles of Sweets 7.62 and two bottles of Barnes X Copper rid unopened due to not being needed any more: cleaning is a super-snap: a simple patch run-through with a bit of ShooterSolutions and all is clean and smelling fresh. More will be coming in late 9-01. So Semper Fi.) 8-17-01.

The way I treated the barrels was by blocking the chambers physically, heating up the barrels to your recommended temperature with a hair dryer and keeping it that way (either by having outdoors in the warm summer humid conditions, or recreating this condition indoors) and working it into the metal paying particular attention to the crown and throat: after treating the crown and bore for the recommended 20 minutes, I backed out the chamber plug to make sure all of the throat as well a the rest of the barrel got the full 25-30 minutes of continuous treatment. Naturally I paid attention to not damage the crown by hitting it with a rod, and I pre-treated this important area first, just to be safe. I used combinations of your applicator material to install the MolyFusion and nylon bristles in the bore ... In the old M1 Garand I cleaned it within an inch of its life with varied cleanings of the most powerful knock-your-socks off copper and lead removers, plus a powerful degreaser to chase out all of this stuff, and then the MolyFusion after the no-residue degreaser was dried. [I recollect Lou sandwiching in J.B.'s Bore paste cleaning chased out with more cleaning, like I recommended - due to needing the barrel smooth of the bad stuff]. -- Tips from Louis Famiano and Jonathan Doege -- 8-16-01.
