I use a lot of GT85 - on the various motor/pushbikes/garden tools. Prefer it to WD40, in fact. Fine for gears/chains, show no signs of rust/seizing, kept outside all year round. The garden tools get a heavy coat over winter. But have only ever used it to soak a seized piston on my guns. Think it's too thin/not durable for gun use.

Here's a great test of various lubes and their rust protection results.

What’s everyone using these days instead of the dri slide? I’ve seen “Phillips Molybdenum gun lubricant” for sale , has anybody had any luck with that or any other suggestions ?
Or should I just apply the moly grease as thi as possible to the inside of the chamber?

Any advice on TP sizes as I wanted to experiment with various lengths and calibre barrels

Depends on the gun. The 25mm piston 77’s seemed to benefit from opening to 3.9mm, modern LGU/LGV were similar. How much air are you shifting and what is the current volume of the TP?
