I was reading another thread & saw some interesting things about the use of moly on bullets. So I wanted to ask opinions on the use of moly on bullets & guns in general.

I'm a big big fan on moly in general. On bullets it's supposed to coat the bore making it slippery/slick. The theory is that when you fire a bullet it leaves fouling in the bbl, the more you shoot, the more the fouling. The moly is supposed to coat the bore not letting the fouling from the bullet stick to the bore. The next bullet shot cleans the previous bullets fouling out of the bore kepping it clean longer and supposedly accurate longer. On metal parts it's supossed to treat the metal making it slicker, more slippery. On drillbits it keeps them cooler (less friction) keeping them sharper, they last longer. They use it on engine parts now & cars no longer need a breakin period & are guarenteed for 100,000 miles. Less friction= less heat which = less wear.

I don't use it on my bullets, I use it on my guns. I've treated bbls, trigger groups, actions, slides, revolvers, ect with it. I did it for 2 reasons, easier to clean & everything works smoother. I shoot a ton of lead bullets, have for years. There's alot of cleaning, expecially revolvers, after shooting 4 to 500 rounds in 1 session. I can't even begin to explain the difference in cleaning from before to after the moly treatment. The difference is night & day, nothing sticks to the revolvers & comes right off. Triggers are another thing that really shines with the moly treatment. If you think your trigger's smooth now, treat it with some moly, sweet!!! It reduces the pull and is sooo much smoother. I did a 617 with moly, the trigger rang like a bell when I dry fired it. I could actually here the mainspring ring. Barrels that are treated with moly stay clean longer & punch right out when it's time to clean them. They also stay cool longer. I treated a complete 1911 in 45acp & took it out to a test run. I loaded up 3 10round mags & shot them as fast as I could. After the last shot locked the slide back I grabed the bbl, it was cool to the touch. I did have to change the recoil spring though, from a 18# spring to a 22# progressive. The slide floats like butter on the frame now.

I like what the moly has done for my rifles/pistols, less wear on the moving parts, easier to clean, smoother function & sweet triggers. I've treated 22's up to 44mags with great results. I've found no adverse effect of the moly treatment on anything, just excellent results.

So where do you get the moly you use on your pistols and how do you apply it?

I got the kit from http://www.rimfiretechnologies.com/, I'm not affiliated with them in any way.

The moly uses oil as a engine to penetrate into the metal just like car motors. Heat helps to treat the metal faster but I found that it is not necessary. You can see the metal change color as you treat it with the moly. In the bores of bbl's, you can actually feel in working. It's applied with a tight patch. At first I had to use some force to push the patch threw the bbl. By the end of the treatment the patch was gliding threw the bbl (5 to 10 passes).

Triggers were extremely easy to do, just mix some moly with oil (3 in 1 oil) & put it in a small squirt bottle. Get a blow dryer & heat up the trigger area, squit some of the moly solution in the the frame & start pulling the trigger. In less than a minute I can tell the difference.

On the outside of metal that I wanted to treat was the easiest. Areas like the front of the cylinders, caming stars, top straps forcing cones ect. Again just use a blow dryer & the moly/oil mix, heat the area & rub the mix on with a cotton cleaning patch. I could see the area being threated change color & feel it become smoother.

I just like what it did for me. It improved my firearms by cutting down on wear, making them function better & making them easier to maintain.

I just checked out the link but didn't see any kits like you described.

I reallly like moly coated lead bullets for handguns. They produce much less smoke than regular lubed bullets and leave much less fouling on the gun and in the barrel. They shoot good, too!
And they don't gunk up my reloading dies, either.

That's who I bought a kit from 2 years ago. You might call them & see what's up. I forget who I talked to when I bought the kit. Talked for around a 1/2hr, they're a weath of info.
