I read the Article about the Army's new Super Dry Film Lubricant, (about a year ago) but never heard anything since then....
No idea.... but I'd be interested in it too! |

I wonder if "Otis Technology Special Forces Dry Lube" is applicable or Tuf-Glide?

I have the Otis Dry Combat lub. It is a spray. Its active ingredients are acetone and mineral oil. The acetone dissolves the mineral oil into very short chain molecules which then kinda disappear into the metal's natural groves and imperfections. It is marginal lubrication. Lubrication engineers would probably just call this boundary lubrication. The mineral oil is broken down to the point it is less apt to hold fine particles of dust. It is ok for the action spring and maybe spray into the trigger area every so often.

Quoted:
Who commercially offers the same DSL (Dry Solid Lubricant) as used by the US Army? Which kind? MIL-L-8937 MIL-L-23398 MIL-L-46010 MIL-L-43146 MIL-L-81329 The M16/M4 TM calls out MIL-L-23398 for touch-up work. MIL-L-46010 is the stuff used on the magazines, and interior of the upper and receiver extension. |

I don't know the Mil Number - it replaces the LSA, CLP etc... in the M16s. Doesn't attract sand and other.

Yes Joglee.
I though the application process was simple and not plasma vapor deposition. Thanks for posting the info. DSL Article |

If he is, it's Giesele but he can't say Giesele. I though Geissele partnered with a company who purchased the rights to use the coating? That said the coating shows promise if what PEO is reporting is accurate. Increased reliability across all spectrums with zero lubrication, as well as increased durability. |

Can't speak for the Army issue stuff but I used Remington Dry Lube in Iraq '04-'05. Still has some left on the bolt carrier after all this time and 1000's of rounds.

Has anybody tried Tungsten Disulfide (WS2) Dry Lubricant Spray? http://www.lowerfriction.com/pdf/8.pdf I use WS2 as a friction modifier in all of my lube. I coat the inside of my uppers and lowers in ws2 and then add it to my oil and grease. It is really difficult to get off once the micron powder soaks into the cerakote, parkerizing, melonite, ionbond, , and anodizing. However it won't wash off of anything without like some brake cleaner or rubbing alcohol, even on your hands. It is black and messy, but it is the most lubricious material on the planet so it makes everything much more slick. Think of Teflon or graphite, but much better at engraving in the pores of metal and non toxic. It doesn't really soak into stainless metals though. I recommend trying it by adding to your grease and I promise you will not be disappointed with the performance. |
