Nope, first I've heard of it. Not sure why I'd want it.

PTFE is a fantastic lubricant, it really does make a huge difference

I tried the venom on my bore snake and I can honestly say it isn't much difference. I tried it on a heavy carbon and low carbon barrel. I say heavy and low because I usually clean my barrels once a month with mpro7 cleaner and the rest of the time I use either hoppes #9, gun slick gunklenz or hoppes bore blast. The mpro7 is really great at cleaning carbon and very little copper fouling. The venom is just an extra cleaning product I have that doesn't serve that much of a purpose. I only used it to test and it's been sitting in the cleaning case ever since.

In my honest opinion a regular maintenance routine with a "now-and-then" extra care clean is all you need. There are a lot of marketing and deceptive products out there that don't really do much more than the old fashion stuff.

It is high quality gun oil but the M-Pro 7 LPX Gun Oil is a better product. The Hoppe’s Elite and M-Pro 7 products are the same in many cases but not all as the brands are owned by the same company. There are better products out on the market but the products are normally specialized for a specific task, purpose, environment or use. I would be careful when changing or using more that one product on a firearm as some are not compatible and can cause problems. The M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner is one of the best on the market (Hoppe’s Elite Gun Cleaner).
