Ballistol suitable to lube a trigger?

Thanks for the info Russ

A Good Weekend to you too

Russ, I've just bought some Dri-Moly and I'm about to coat a spring and Piston. The Instructions are somewhat lacking - I worried about the nozzle blocking between uses. Does the can need inverting and the nozzle clearing after every use? It would be a shame to waste such an expensive product...

whipsaw,

You can invert the can and spray until nozzle is clear - this does waste propellant however

What I do, is roll up some kitchen roll into as small a point as you can, then use it to clean the nozzle.

With the Ambersil products (dry moly & dry teflon sprays)I use, I have never had the nozzle clog after cleaning in this way.

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards

Russ

Thanks Russ, I degreased the piston and spring and proceeded to give them several light coats of Ambersil DM, I let it dry for 4 hours and reassembled the gun (HW99). What I did notice was that the coating didn't appear to be very resilient, I could scratch it off with a finger nail. The surfaces were highly polished so this may explain it. Should DM provide a tough, barrier-like coating or have I misunderstood it's properties and function?

Molybdenum disulphide bonds to steel in a very thin invisible layer and can be rubbed off or rather rubbed in with a cloth. It will still be there.
Makes it brilliant for hammer rails too.
