I'm using a dry ceramic "lube" from Gunk in my blowback guns, seems to work fine but I don't know if it has any anti-rust properties.

Went to the range last night and it seems that after 65 shots it started to wear off the top of the barel. It was just in one spot though. I like the fact that it doesn't attract any dirt or dust. I'll test it out some more.

I've been using the Remington Teflon Dri-Lube for about a year... no complaints except it doesn't creep into all the nooks like oil would.

I use the remington variant on my reloading equipment. It does the job, but it's really easy to overdo it when this happens it leaves a visible white residue.

Tried the Rem version on my XD and it worked great for the first 50 or so round then Jam-O-matic. In high volume shooting it simply didn't seem to stick around. I switched back to oil and have not looked back. I do like the dry stuff on some of my reloading equipment though. Does not attract to much crud especially around the power drop.

In speaking with an actual lubrication consultant (yes, Dr. of Chemistry) I asked him about dry lube for guns. He reminded me of the fact that one of the points of liquid lubricants is to carry debris, not just reduce friction. This includes collecting things that normally get between moving parts and jam them. The lube can actually allow that same would-be-jammer to move and not get lodged where it shouldn't.
I'll stick with viscous fluids for lubing my gun. |
