Hammer/Sear grease

Armco's moly grease? I'm very happy with it.
12/05/02. A collaboration between Armco and a well known producer of Molybdenum products has brought out a new multi-purpose gun lube. It is real similar to the "Trigger Slick" formerly supplied by McCormick, and is great for use on the hammer/sear interface and other high friction areas. It's a LOT more concentrated than other Moly "greases".
Of particular value is using it on the slide rails of stainless (or other) guns to reduce friction, prevent galling and premature wear. Testing has shown that on compensated guns with light recoil springs, and with a load that won't even #### the hammer with regular gun lubes (Fire Power, Break-Free, etc. etc.) a wipe of this stuff on the rails, and by the second shot ejection is consistently six feet! Not real scientific, but it is a real good measure of the actual slipperiness of lubes under the torque load imposed by guns with efficient comps. That means that if used on a Standard gun, that nice snug fit should last forever. I use a little lighter oil to thin it slightly on the rails and use it full strength on the sear and hammer. Sells for $16 for a 1 oz container which will last a season. You don't put on a lot! Also working on a gun oil that so far seems a lot better than what's out there now.
