Ionbond vs Microslick vs Cerakote for bolt

[NICKNICK]

How long do these coatings last on the "mating" faces of bolt lugs?

Is any one of these coatings particularly more durable than the others when used on a bolt action?

Is there a noticeable decrease in friction vs any other properly lubed action?

I'm primarily worried about corrosion resistance and durability (high humidity and frequent rain when hunting). A smoother action would be a nice benefit, though.

Re: Ionbond vs Microslick vs Cerakote for bolt

Your best bet between those three will be Ionbond. Ionbond penetrates the metal at the molecular level and becomes a part of the metal. Ionbond is extremely durable.

Cerakote is a great coating but will wear on high surface contact areas.

I don't know much about microslick.

Nickel Boron may be another option if you can find someone who does it.
