Author Topic: Using moly??? (Read 783 times)

Has anyone tried "moly" yet?? I use it on all my guns in triggers/sears it does make an expensive trigger job done a cheaper way. On bolt action guns it can be sued on sears, bolt lugs and cocking cams too. It will smooth out the worst trigger too. If the trigger is that bad stone it, polish it and then add the moly based anti seize and work it in.(run the action) This is great stuff and the best lubricate we could ever use. No sear will be smooth if left dry and moly stays where you put it. BigBill

Yo BigBill - Yep, use it all the time. I purchased two small cans of moly powder in two grades - fine, and dust. I really can't tell the difference between the two grades, and they both work just fine. I have used it on every pistol or revolver I have gotten into since I got the stuff and used it on my levers and bolt guns to lighten 'things' up a bit. I usually clean off my parts first, apply a light coat of gun oil with my fingers, use a q-tip to spread the moly on, or burnish it into the part with it until it looks like a grey coloured coating overall, reassemble, work the action until smoooooth, clean off the excess so the moly doesn't stain a shirt, and either shoot the dang thing or carry it until I shoot it. I have found that any successive cleanings don't seem to remove the moly, and the piece just gets smoother and smoother. I think the moly will be a well kept secret until the secret gets out. Mikey.

Mikey there is a higher percentage of moly in the premium moly anti-seize too available from McMasterCarr their on the net for easy ordering. It may be better for sears its very close to a paste and no gun oil is needed. It is great stuff and sure saved me money doing trigger jobs.

I can't wait to do my Astra 600 its the worst trigger I have ever seen if hitler had it on his last day he would of missed? And he would of still been alive.

I found another gun for using moly my sons just got paintball guns and what a difference moly makes in the paintball gun slide. I even did the trigger too it smoothed everything out just trying it by hand tomorrow we will test it by firing it. I also set the kid up with a shotgun scope the red dot one too. BigBill

Based on Bill's praise of Molly for trigger improvement, I purchased over the web an 8 oz, jar of TS-70 Moly Paste. The jar has the following website on the cover:

http://www.tsmoly.com/antiseize.htm

I have used it to smooth out the trigger on a couple of Norinco 9mm Torkarev pistols, an MN 1891/30, two Norinco SKS's, and some old Colt 32 ACP's. I have also used them on the slide of the Norinco's, but that can get messy.

They do a good job of making things go smoother. I really like what they did to the triggers of the SKS and MN.

I would second Bill on his recommendation.

Guys I have two brand new tippman paintball guns here one has the slide moly'ed up I just apply it, work it in with a paper towel then just a wipe to make it dry and just leave a film of oil in the paintball reciever. The other gun is untouched and the action sucks its scratchy feels like sand is in it its that rough and its actuall squeeky clean. I'm sure doing this pumps up the ball speed thus making it more accurate and adding more distance too, since the drag on the slide/piston is GONE really it has NONE!!! I told my kids to set the guns up right with longer barrels and shotgun scopes for sighting quick shots so their not out gunned because their playing with pro's who do it all the time. Its funny my oldest son(27) has always shown an interest in guns and hunting, while my youngest could take them or leave them and doesn't want to hunt. Both have shot BB guns for years, then my ruger 10/22, then my sks with soda cans. Now I never pushed a sport on anyone but my youngest son is starting to show an interest in guns now. Told him there's more to life besides motorcycles(dirtbikes & rockets) and chasing the babes?? BigBill

My first heavy application of moly on the slides of semi-auto pistols is messy when first shot. But after it wears in by shooting it I actually throttle back on how much i put on it after that. Don't forget to do the barrel bushings too. These aren't the same guns anymore after using moly?? Its the cheapest trigger job you will ever do the more it wears in the better it gets. Like I said it cuts the trigger pull by 50%++ right away.
One guy on another forum had wear inside an "ak" and most of the others guys on the forum said its normal to have wear, to me WEAR is unacceptable!!!!!! I contacted him and told him about moly he reblued the gun were the wear was and moly'ed it up went out and hammered it and when it was all over his gun had NO WEAR at all!!!! I feel we invest so much into these toys they have to last, I plan on handing mine down in my family for generations to come thats how long mine are going to last. One company also makes moly for bores too I may try some soon. Anything that reduces all Friction, Wear and prevents Galling and now I can put it in the bores and on bullets too?? What more can we ask for?? You don't need it on bullets all the time it works into the pores of the metal so its there with just a few applications I'm sure you can also burnish it in the bore with the paste also then wipe the excess out. If you take two pieces of flat ground stock 2"X2" X1/4" thick rub them together dry feel the drag then add moly rub them together then wipe the excess off then rub them again and you will still see "no" friction like they were when they were dry before the moly was applied!!!

Hey Buckweet you guys in the Ozarks don't shave anyway?? So you have plenty of shaving cream??(kidding) How ya doing?? Doing any shooting?? I like my triggers somewhere towards "hairy" but rather smoother and not so rough and hard to pull. So it doesn't take too much pressure to squeeze it. We tend to jerk the gun when its a hard trigger.
Things go right when the trigger is smooth I have enough trouble seeing 100yds and not having to play with a bad trigger its just one more thing we all can correct real easy? BigBill
