Timeliness 
I wish to compliment Solutionshooters (Jonathan Doege) for their assistance and delivery of their product. The product was urgently required and they were able to get it out to Australia within a working week from the date of the order. If all OS companies were as prompt and helpful as Solutionshooters were, Australia would feel alot less isolated than it does at present.

Product 
I have tried two products distributed by Shootersolutions; Sweet Shooter and Moly Fusion. Sweet Shooter is nothing short of miraculous when it comes to preventing rust on several of my firearms. The only way I could prevent rust in my hot humid climate, prior to using Sweetshooter was to either clean every spot I touched quickly or keep metal surfaces oiled while shooting. One treatment seems to last for weeks (may be longer, but I'm apprehensive about trying it). I apply it everytime I shoot the firearm and don't get any messy build-up. ... 
I have been shooting in rifle competition for about fifty years and Sweetshooter with Moly-Fusion have been the least expensive single items which have improved accuracy in my rifles.

I'm "tickled pink" that Shootersolutions stocks Van's Gun Blue. I haven't seen it since before WW2. My brother-in-law under whom I served my gunsmith apprenticeship had a bottle of it which he used to touch up screw heads and bear spots after 
repairing all types of firearms. As I remember he said that it was the only touch-up bluing he would trust on the fine drillings and shotguns made in Germany and England. I once ruined the bluing on a Marlin 39 by applying another brand of cold blue to the
muzzle after cutting off a the barrel. It ran down the barrel and left a horrible streak. My mentor said that I "shoulda used Ol' Van's". I'm glad "Ol' Van's" is back on the market and I can get it in just a few days from Shootersolutions rather than drive 50 miles into the nearest place I can get gunsmith supplies (and they wouldn't have it anyway).

Seems like Jonathan is an old friend even though' I have only dealt with him for a short while. He is always ready to discuss shooter's ideas and problems. His products are "first line" and if you have any doubts about them, he is willing to back them up with technological facts, which pleases me to no end. Nice guy and excellent products--rare combination these days. He got the ones I ordered here in three days with no hassle--he must have an "in" with the Postmaster up there in Derry, may be his wife's cousin orsomething.

"We did a bit of testing with Moly [Fusion] this weekend. We were testing with muzzleloaders and found some neat results. 
With round balls normally there is a limit to how hard you can push a ball out the barrel before the patch begins to shred and accuracy goes to pot. 
We found we could increase the powder charge from 60 to 90 gr. of FFFg before the patch began to shred!
We did a sort of blind accuracy test. 
We had two White Mountain 1 in 66" twist ball barrels one treated one not. 
We shot groups at 100 yards off simple bench rest. 
The guys shooting didn't know which barrel was treated and which wasn't. 
We found accuracy improved from an average 7" group to 5" in the treated barrel. 
We also ran tests with conical (bullet shaped) projectiles. 
It seemed there was a relation between tightness of the bullet and accuracy in a treated barrel. 
For example Mini balls tended to key-hole all over the place out of the treated barrel but Lee REAL (Rifling Engaged At Loading) bullets shot much better out of a treated barrel. Groups (100 yards) went from 4" untreated to a bit under 3" from the treated barrel. 
My theory for the conical bullets is the treated barrel is so slick the loose projectiles sort of slip across the rifling and don't get enough spin. I hope the weather gets better for next weekend I've got some .223 (75 gr Hornaday), .308 and 30-06 (168 gr Sierra) rounds treated to do some tests at 600 yds."

(7/15/99): Dear Jonathan,

I would like to provide you with some feedback regarding your products Moly-Fusion and Sweetshooter. In April of this year, I ordered both the Moly-Fusion (half oz.) and Sweetshooter. Both would be utilized in High Power shooting and in very competitive black powder shooting with the 19th Indiana Vols. Union Guards of the N-SSA. First; Moly-Fusion, I applied Moly-Fusion the breech area and receiver area rails of a 1863 Sharps Carbine. I made two applications to the rails and breech area. During competition, shooting timed events at 100 and 50 yards, this area of the Sharps builds up very quickly with carbon and heavy fouling. After several shots during competition, it becomes difficult to operate the breech smoothly. With the application of Moly-Fusion and continued use of Sweetshooter to this specific area the Sharps, especially the breech area, the breech works very efficiently and effectively even after several rounds. The bore is maintained by Sweetshooter only at the present time. Before Sweetshooter, and during competition the bore would "cake." It took several strokes with a bore brush to remove the "cake." Then, several strokes with bore cleaner and two or three dry patches. Since Sweetshooter was introduced to the bore, "caking " does

not occur and cleaning the bore after an event takes two patches of Sweetshooter. Depending on heat and humidity caking may occur but only minimal....it does not effect accuracy of the Sharps. This cake, if it does occur, is easily removed with Sweetshooter...1 or 2 patches. The bore on the Sharps has been treated with Sweetshooter since April. I did not follow your recommendation of a steel bore brush. I used a nylon

brush and tight fitting patch application procedures in the bore area. Due to the period of application, I feel very strongly that Sweetshooter accomplished it's mission. How do I know? Groups have reduced in size ( I shoot a 420 gr., .54 cal. bullet pushed by 45grs. of 3F black powder--paper cartridge) significantly. Cleaning up the Sharps after an event is now a pure pleasure .. where before it was something I did not look forward too! I'm extremely happy and satisfied with both products.

Sweetshooter is utilized in the bore of my 1855 Harper Ferry rifle.

Again, clean up time is greatly reduced. It seems the 100-yard group is the most effected. The group has reduced in size. On 7/12/99, I 5 rounds using the International bullet pushed by only 32grs. of 3F. ...all were in the black, not as tight as I would like them to be, but then again, I was firing in the standing position at 100 yards. In the short of things ... I'm extremely happy with the products. As a side story ....I introduced Sweetshooter to an "ole club M1" here in Lafayette, Indiana. I cleaned the barrel with JB, Kroil, and Shooters Choice. Once the cleaning was completed (I'm a former Marine) so cleaning is aggressive. The bore of the ole M1 was not in bad shape, in fact it was in good shape for a rifle that had been kicked around, dropped, and used a great deal. New members use the club M1's to break in before ordering NM rifle. You know how that goes! Well, I started to apply only Sweetshooter to the bore and rifle (bolt lugs.. etc...) on June 1st of this year. I applied a good deal of Sweetshooter to the bolt/receiver area (grooves). Last Monday, July 12, 1999, I fired 12 strings of 10

rounds from the 300-yd. line in rapid-fire prone position. It was 2 o'clock in the afternoon....80 plus degree heat. The ole rifle performed the way it had been designed to operate. No jams, no malfunctions at all. Groups were good and scores ranged in the high 70's and low 80's. I moved my gear to the 200-yard line. Leo J. Melle volunteered to work the pit / target for me. I did not clean, in fact the rifle had not been cleaned since 6/13/99 after a high power shoot. After the 6/13 shoot I used only Sweetshooter in the receiver area and the bore was swabbed out with it. I loaded the ole M1 with a match round from Top Notch Ammo (30-06 Springfield, 150 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip bullet moly

coated, Winchester brass). I fired in the standing position, first round was a 9 at 8, second round was 10 at 1, the third and last round was a 9 at 10.....the ten was close enough I think to an X , but Leo called a 10...., so, 29 or 29-1x...out of 30. Not bad for an "ole M1" treated with Sweetshooter. The group of the three shots.....now remember, this rifle is "club rifle" ...not a national match rifle machine. This M1 is issue.....nothing has been done to it. The stock has not been bedded. Looking at the target, Leo and I started to laugh....less than 3 MOA. A combination of good grade of ammo and Sweetshooter....hey, it made a difference. Plan to keep shooting the "ole war horse" even after my new Fulton-Armory M1 arrives. Again, I'm very happy with your product and impressed with their performance. I need more Sweetshooter by the way! I need to order 32oz.bottle of Sweetshooter.

While Off topic on Molyfusion, Blackpowder, a favorite of Blackpowder owners:
Subject: Cold Blue
Pete my man, I hope you aren't expecting a rust blue finish. Too many people do and are sorely disappointed with the results. All cold blues are to my knowledge are selenious acid, copper sulphate, and phosphoric acid regardless of the manufacturer. 'smiths and hobbyists have their favorites for some prejudice or another. Mine is Van's, available from Shooters Solutions at Shootersolution@mediaone.net This is their e-mail. Call Jonathan Doege at 1-800 232 3258 and order a quart for less than half the price of others. I first saw Van's in my brother-in-law's gunshop before WWII and they resumed making it recently, same formulation and just as good as before, I believe.
