Moly Lube

solid fixture here in the forum
Grumpy I finally was able to find some moly lube and I can't find your process of how to use it and I am going to shoot my new 243 Mauser rifle and my 220 swift for the 1st time and I intend to start using the moly lube as part of my cleaning routine from now on but I searched a lot of posts and can't find it could you direct me to the post or as a better post for a lot of readers that are not as experienced as others your rifle and pistol cleaning procedures
 
its simple,
clean the rifle bore as usual with hoppeys solvent,
after and before each use,
then repeatedly swab the bore with patches soaking dripping wet with moly,
before you put the rifle away,
run a few clean solvent soaked patches through the bore before use.
over time the micro fissures in the bore get coated and filled with moly leaving a mirror surface

Do they make a liquid form of this? I had to send away for a spray can but a bottle would be better for gun use and how is this for a spray on or liquid to protect guns for storage and what would you use for long term storage and again thanks for the info and I really think you should do a gun cleaning section for cleaning and routine maintenance and maybe a very little beginner gunsmithing but I'm not sure about the liability issues if any

Moly exists as microscopic hexagonal crystal platelets Several molecules make up one of these platelets. A single molecule of Moly contains two sulfur atoms and one molybdenum atom. Moly platelets are attracted to metal surfaces. This attraction and the force of moving surfaces in contact, rubbing across one another provide the necessary thermochemical reaction necessary for Moly to form an overlapping protective coating like armor on the rifle bore surface, This protective armor coating has a number of properties that are very beneficial for your rifles bore surface
moly is a bit like graphite, in that it appears to be a super fine powder suspended in a solvent carrier, that evaporates over time, put some between finger tips and rub, youll get the idea.. it spreads. like anti seize paste, and yeah it can be cleaned off hands with soapy hot water, but it gets into metal surfaces and its very dificult to remove (thats the idea)

The Moly platelets that make up the protective layers on your bore wall surfaces slide across one another very easily. Instead of metal rubbing against metal, you have Moly platelets moving across one another protecting and lubricating the bore to projectile surface contact

This coating effectively fills in the microscopic pores that cover the surface of all micro bore imperfections making them smoother. By filling in the craters and pores Moly improves this seal

This overlapping coating of Moly also gives protection against loading (perpendicular) forces. The high pressures that occur between these moving surfaces that tend to squeeze normal lubricants out.

Grumpy I am trying some Montana Extreme bore conditioner as per their description it is supposed to do the same thing as moly lube it sure doesn't look or smell the same but it is in a liquid so I'm trying some but theres no way to tell if its the same, better , worse or whatever I do like that its in a liquid form
