Dry teflon spary

[oil pan 4]

Back a few years ago I bought some dry Remington(sp?) Teflon spray form wal-mart. It was the best stuff ever for my mini-14.
With thin mineral oils the bolt would cause it to lock after not shooting it for a few months. Dry Teflon spray fixed that and made the action smoother then ever.
The dry teflon would not wash away with soap and water or weak bore cleaners. Even after years there is some still on there.
When I go back to the states I will be able to shoot my guns after 3years. Some of that stuff would help.
Any one know where to get it now?
Also I'm working on a pneumaticly injected gauss gun and some dry teflon would be nice for the bore. The Molybdenum Disulfide coated steel bullets for it work good but it could be better.
Teflon would be good, because it is some what clear/whitish and the gun will have to use infer red optical sensors to trigger electromagnetic accelerator coils.
A little project of mine.

How about Antimony and Teflon?Given a little time,it'll dry and leave a white film.

oil pan 4, I have a puff bottle of dry teflon powder that has been a lifesaver over the years, altho for different appplications than yours. The advantages of dry teflon are significant over that in oil. Foremost is that it doesn't attack anything, never gets gummy, won't attract and hold dust, and the excess goes away.

If you cannot find a true dry teflon powder, look for it in a spray that uses an evaporating solvent rather than an oil that hangs around.

We used a lot of it in the computer mfg business back in the 80s, but the ones sprayed with the solvent-type had to sit for some time to let the solvent dissipate, some carrier solvents will attack plastics.

I'll look up the brand that I have (dry powder)when I get home.

It has been so long sence I have been in the states. There could be some at the gun store or some thing.
I would like a good company where I could get more when I run out.
Oil could be bad for my optical parts.

I got a can of drying teflon spray made by the same folks that make PB Fabulous B'laster. Use it on my 10/22; seems to work well and is available at auto parts stores.

hth,

I just bought a can of DuPont's Multi-use Dry Lubricant with Teflon for my motorcyle chain. It was recommended for chains by the boys over at that topic site. It cost five bucks for 8 ozs. at Loew's. I'm going to give it a try on my customer's guns and see if it works. DuPont used to make Remington products so maybe there are remnants of engineering expertise in this product.

LPS makes some stuff called "magnum" teflon spray. i currently have some teflon spray from Crown. if you can find a local industrial dealer you should be able to find some teflon spray.

Try SLIDE Product Inc. they are usually very reasonably priced.

I would be surprised to hear of long-term success from lubing a roller chain with something 'dry' or Teflon.
The opening line from a Rexnord pamplet entitled "How to effectively lubricate roller chain drives": "The primary purpose of chain lubrication is to provide a clean film of oil at all load carrying points where relative motion occurs."

I forget the brand name, but the REI sports stores in my area carry a dry teflon product for use on bicycles.

I didn't buy any yet because I already have too many different brands of various lubricants in my closest to ever finish using them up.

N.A.P.A. automotive stores carries a dry film lubricant thats a quick dry graphite, simply called DGF.. ( dry graphite film ) if i'm not mistaken.
My uses arent related to anything here, I use it mainly on the splines of a quick change rear end axle in a sprint car and on the threads for the axle nut..( 2 1/2" right hand on left and left hand on right ) spray on, wait 30 seconds, spin axle nut on and off a few times and its smooth as silk, obviously withstands high heat and actually cant even wash it off , gotta use a carb cleaner or similar.
bout 7 bucks a can but its the best thing out there and will forever be in my crate of stuff goin to the track.

It is still made, good lube. LOL, I also use it on my mini 14 and other semi autos. Any dealer that stocks Remington guns should be able to order it for you.
