pros and cons:

smoothness with cocking

durability

maintanence.

go!

To my knowledge, which may be completely wrong, teflon cylinders are steel coated in teflon.

Which means, that the teflon will wear down eventually, and when it does it can lead to fps inconsistencies, and perhaps a drop if it creates drag.

But, assuming this is a bolt action, as long as you are using a 90* piston, you will be fine for a long, long time. If you're using a 45 degree piston, then stick with steel, as you'll wear off the teflon real quick.

I have to assume he's talking about bolt actions. Yes, they are steel coated in teflon. However, they are NOT to be confused with palsonite cylinders. Yes, palsonite is still steel, but the coating process to make it palsonite is somewhat like anodization, the palsonite coating on the steel is extremely durable and can't be scratched off like teflon coatings can (it is chemically bonded with the steal via a magical process administered by Radagast the Brown).

Palsonite is the way to go, very durable AND very smooth. Also, ditto @ Star_Folder's sear statement. Go with 90 degrees.

It is bolt action. after trying to figure it out, i decided to go with the 90 degrees and go that route. sucks, but it will be better in the long run

You went with palsonite?

There is nothing quite like a smooth cock, you know.
