I have a R700 action that I had trued and had a barrel spun up for it but the parkerized finish is kinda rough. Considering having it microslick coated but curious if those who have had it done have seen a noticable difference
Cerakote Microslick review?

Parkerizing is rough in part because it doesn’t do well on polished surfaces. One of the things properly applied microslick does is smooth everything down entirely. I expect that it would stick fairly well to the parkerized surfaces but I have zero personal experience with it.
I’d be interested in hearing your results!
As an alternative, you could soak the action in CLP for a few days then wipe it dry, and you’d probably running smooth for a long time.

I tried it on my bcg and it works pretty well. I don’t lube it and it runs no problems. It also cleans up really easy, but no experience on a bolt action.
Did you sand blast it first or just clean and apply to the existing finish? I've been researching this and molykote can be applied directly onto a parkerized surface. I'm not sure how thick that stuff lays on though. I'd rather use the microslick since it apparently goes on very thin.
I've done it on a bunch of bolts with great results. I've got one personal 7saum thats 4 years old and still running smooth but does show some signs of wear. It's a paint after all! Im now switching over the KG Gearkote for all future builds.
