cybrosh Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi people, A friend told me about a very interesting gun oil/substance he read of. He can't seem to remember the bloody name, so instead of browsing the web for hours, trying to find clues, I've decided to turn to the forums' honorable and knowledable members This substance appears to be 'attaching' itself(absorbed?)to the metal's molecules, at the molecular levels, creating a magnetic field between the frame-slide, that helps redcue wear. Have you heard of such a beast? Cheers! Cy' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision40 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) He might be thinking of Mil-Comm I've tried it and it's good stuff. Edited November 1, 2005 by Precision40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Lots of people have been selling it for a long time. It's called Snake Oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPatterson Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 That also sounds a lot like Gun Juice by Microlon. According to the hype it started as an additive for airplanes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuildSF4 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Here are three that claim to meet some of your specs... Microlon Gun juice Milcomm Wilson Ultima-lube All three of these claim the property of penetrating the metal and making a flim on it that even if it appears dry it is still lubricated. (Never heard of the magnetic propertiesof a particular lubricant, and this part doesn't pass the common sense test...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorch Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) I know Some folks using mobile 1 and Pro long mixed. Pro long is supposed to attach at the molec. level. So far good results, I use slide glide light in the summer and Mobile 1 in the winter. Edited November 4, 2005 by scorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenTX Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 It's been over twenty years, but if my memory serves me well. Microlon is one of the early, if not the first, products that used teflon powder in a carrier liquid and sold it as a "metal treatment". Microlon was mineral sprits along with some other chemicals and teflon powder. It was originally developed as WZ-127. There were other products like Lubri-Lon that used motor oil as the carrier. Micrlon's claim to fame was that it was the first (only?) approved by the FAA for use in aircraft. For some reason the FAA is picky about what you put in aircraft engines, must be they don't like them falling out of the sky. The founder/inventor was an avid shooter and developed a .17 caliber wildcat cartride which he called the 17 Williams. The idea behind it is the mineral sprits, which is a solvent, cleans the pores of the metal and then the metal rubbing against metal forces microscopic particles of teflon into the pores and that reduces friction. They also had gear lube and grease with teflon powder mixed in.This is old information and they may have changed their formulation. Dupont was not happy with all these "snake oil" companies playing off of their trademark and prevented them from stating that the microscopic particles were teflon. Here is an article about use in guns. http://www.microlon.com/testresults/applic...canGunsmith.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
