Spartan Accuracy Oil
Modern Spartan Systems (MSS) announced a new gun oil called Spartan Accuracy Oil. MSS states:
The proprietary formula uses Nano Shield™ molecular particles with heat activation to penetrate and fill in pores and gaps in the metal substrate. Effectively, microscopic mountains are reduced to flat plains, minimizing the points of contact. The smoother, harder surface has been shown to reduce friction by up to an astonishing 85-90%.
The use of nano particle technology seems to be part of a trend in the gun oil business. Products like Rand CLP and Evergreen Firearm CLP both claim to use nano particles in various ways to increase lubricity and reduce wear.
Take a look at the video published by MSS below. Perhaps some of the engineers who read the site can chime in on the validity of the testing. Is this a good test of these oils?

The only "nano-particle" lube I've ever messed with where I could tell the difference vs. the chateau walmart I used to use is the Finish Line ceramic wet lube I use on my bicycle chains. There is a clear difference in the mechanical resistance & noise made by the chain after using this stuff properly a couple of times.
Anyway boron nitride lubricants like this have been around for a while. I put some on a wheelbarrow axle once & it made a huge difference in the amount of crap you could put in that thing & still push it around without killing yourself.
Maybe I'll try some on the SKS next time it's due for a cleanup; I doubt it would hurt anything given Norinco's tolerances & the thickness of the stamped steel...
