Dry lubricant; non conventional

Way back when....I was working in a furniture store in Texas and our delivery guy carried guns for protection even though it was illegal then. He had a DS from Colt that he was lubing with motor oil and it completely froze up once. He had to soak it in kerosene to fix it.

On another thread I asked about that gold lube that Glock uses on their new pistols. It appears to be a copper based dry lubricant. Has anyone here tried that?

I'm curious now, would teflon tape or liquid teflon (thread sealer) from a plumbing store work?

I refinished some of my guns in Gunkote and use Remoil with teflon over an layer of Moly from an old can of "Molybdenum di-sulfide, epoxy, industrial finish" that I was given by an amourer in the army after working a detail spring cleaning the armsroom. (actually three can but the other two disappeared and I think that my old roommate was responsible, kept his ruger working like a swiss clock)

Works well and stays dry, if I'm going to the range I put acouple drops of CLP on the slide to wet it.

Moly works very well as a dry lube. It has to be burnished into the surface for lasting benefit. It provides no protection from moisture etc. The downsides are it doesn't normally stay in solution in oil and it is pretty messy. It tends to stay on anything it gets into like clothing.

Here is a formulation many seem to like:

The "copper" lube on new Glocks is Loctite C5 copper anti-seize (or something similar). It is intended for break-in only. It can be somewhat abrasive over time and is also pretty messy.

This stuff last a while, its basically moly spray paint and is a major pain to remove, bad enough that I got some that I'm waiting for the over spay to wear off.

I've been using Catapillar Molly paste for a while now.

Clean all sliding surfaces well and wipe down with paint thinner.
Heat with a blow dryer or such and using a q-tip apply it to the surfaces.

Assemble and work the action for a bit.
Disassemble and wipe off the excess.

Stays very slick for a long time.

I was looking at the plumbing teflon pipe dope (liquid), and it seems like it would work as a teflon lube, maybe a lot less expensive than a gun brand pure teflon lube.

Eezox is a good moisture protector, and is all I use on my guns for Lube. Even my Auto's. Heres a test that was run by an individual.
