Moly grease

Postby SteveK1953 » Tue Mar 19, 2013 8:52 am

Hello gents,
This is my first post to the forum after much enjoyable reading. Just wanted to say greetings and give a link to a better price on the moly grease used on the Marauder. If purchased from the suppliers online one can pay $13 for 1oz. At Napa you can buy the same item for $7.50, 9ozs. "three 3oz tubes" , have it now, no waiting, no shipping costs and have enough to split with your buddies.

Is it the regular automotive Molly grease for wheel bearings etc. or is it higher Molly content??
Moly grease for air guns is a higher percentage of moly to the carrier substance.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm new and just received my m-rod 25 and have a question. I have 2 squeeze bottles of dry powder molly. Can that be used where the molly grease is used? It sort of seems to me that if you want a very light coating and then burnished coat of molly grease, a light dusting of powder molly and burnishing would do about the same thing. If not, what have I missed? Thanks for any insight that you might give.

depends what the molly is suspended in....the one up top is suspended in a petroleum base..
99% of the time it's the shooter, not the gun.

This is just the dry molly powder, no suspension. I have "puffed" it onto some moving parts of other things, then burnished it and it really made it slick. I just wondered if that would work for the bolt , or if it needed the grease suspension to function properly there.

I had the opportunity to talk to Crosman regarding this issue. I have been informed that they only recommend moly-graph grease for the bolt only. I did pickup a 14 oz. Cartridge from napa for 4 bucks. And I am re-packaged it for a few friends in 1 oz. tins.
