abolter Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I have a friend who is away playing with a bolt action rifle in the sand for 6 months or so. He asked if I knew of a product better than oil for his bolt as he is having a lot of trouble with the grains of sand getting everywhere. I havent a scooby but I guess someone on here will know if there is something that lubricates but is non adhesive?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 No oil. Run it absolutely dry. If that's a no-go for some reason: graphite powder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaken Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hoppes do a spray on dry lube based on moly not silicon. Worked extremely well on my old magnum 597 semiauto that kept gungeing up with powder residue. Might be a step up from running it dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Pencil on rear of lugs (graphite) No oil / grease - this will only attract sand and dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylan5588 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 there is a product called fork Juice, it is a spray on treatment developed for the mountain biking boys, they spray it on the forks of their bikes, to lubricate but stop the mud adhering It is silicon based and works brilliantly on all surfaces of a rifle, I first heard of it in an article by Mike Powell the foxing guy from sporting rifle and others. It lubricates like slippery mans slippery thing, but is dry. Aj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I would agree with the others on graphite only. Why not send him a few super soft 2B or softer pencils and then he can carry a few around with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryh Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Abolter, The graphite powder is it, works well, used it when I lived in Texas in bolt guns on dusty ranges. Forget any oils or fancy 'put on and bake/dry stuff' especially in his 'application' i.e. real Here's and example of the product I used: http://www.amazon.com/Tube-O-Lube-31644G-Powder-Graphite-Lubricant/dp/B000R8983A But the RC car bunch use similar thus: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/221326929866?lpid=83&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=83 Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lukas_K Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Experimenting with Sentry Slolutions dry lube products lately, seems to be good and genuine stuff - although the price is rather steep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
