Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Gun lube

[Stranger]

Since this stuff doesn't attract dust, dirt, water; what do you guys think of using it for a Semi-Auto or Pump?



Thanks

i would not use it... not with it having ceramic solids in it... ... ... there is plenty of good gun lube out there. . made for guns. .

 

[B.G. Smith]

I used some of that when I rebuilt the brakes on my travel trailer. It is very thick, much too heavy for a gun and with the ceramic as stated above I would not use it. bg

I use mobil 1.

Absolutely not! Describe your use! Location and application.
I use a touch of moly grease on the locking lugs of my rifles.
Everything else is lightly oiled. Bore is wiped dry before firing.
I use a very light coat of lube on the slide rails and contact moving parts of a semi auto pistol and rifle.

Well, lucky me! For once I asked before leaping. Thanks, ALL for your insight.
On the MOLY, is that the same as "Break-in Moly"?

Thanks,
Bill

just remember, any lube is better than no lube..... just dont over do it with it..... plus, the more you clean and take apart your gun, it wears out faster... . i dont clean very often, just make sure it has proper lube and not dry or gummed up... ...

The Moly lube I use is a synthetic automotive chassis grease. It is applied with a toothpick on the locking lugs to keep them from galling. There used to be a product called "Dri-Slide" that was available many decades ago. Havent seen it around for a while but, it was molybdenum disulfide suspended in a low viscosity oil. It worked great on surfaces where snug fit and reliability were required. Such as the slid to frame fit of an autoloading pistol. (I used it extensively on my M-14 in SE Asia.
When we got the M-16's we used a different lube(LPS) that was compatible with the steel bolt carrier and a hard anodized aluminum upper receiver. The drislide would have been a good application for the bolt carrier operating parts, but I didnt have any more!)
LPS and other spray lubes work for some applications. I use WD-40 is a water dispersal agent but not as a lubricant.
Presently I am experimenting with Brian Enos lube products.

I have a sample of all three weights of lubricant and have used 2 of them on my firearm applications. So far, I see no issues.
Using Moly containing lubricants has a risk, where under certain circumstances, the molybdenum disulfide can combine with moisture and break down into chemical components that contain sulfuric acid.
I have not found this, but it has been discussed in various firearms journals.
If you fire Molybdenum Disulfide coated bullets, you must be aware that a chemically clean and properly oiled bore in your barrel is a necessity if you live in a part of the country with high humidity.
Further caution required, in that you absolutely must wipe the bore and chamber dry before firing!

PS! DANG they still make the Dri Slide!!! I'll have to get some!

Them's good words to listen to.....



GHarm, Brownell's also makes some red stuff that works great on auto-loaders... . CRS tonight... . I'll try to remind myself in the morn! Otherwise, it's just the moly EP grease on the lugs! I use a syringe, though. Gotta push hard to get it out, but it comes out in a thin line and controllable. I have lots of syringes around from doctoring animals... . Don't get dusty with the cap on the needle, and always a couple CCs just laying there when you clean one.

I have used Lubriplate 130A for a few years now, in lite coats and really like it. I have been hearing some good things about a new gun lube called Frog Lube.

Lubri-plate has been around a long time, and I've had good luck, especially on engine assembly.....



The Brownell's product I was referring to was Friction Defense: http://www.brownells.com/gun-cleani...l-prod31825.aspx?avs|Manufacturer_1=BROWNELLS
