I went today to get the lube to put my barrel on and Lowes and a local autoparts store didn't have a clue.Then I did a web search and one site said Molybdenum-disulfide lube is ANTISEIZE. Is this right? |

Bushy sells the correct stuff for something like $5. This "tube", or small plastic container will last you forever. Word to the wise. DO NOT GET THIS #$!@# on *anything* you don't want it on. Its a major pain to remove it. I'm mostly talking about clothing... a little solvent will remove it from your gun. |

Molybdenum-disulfide lube is ANTISEIZE. Is this right? It has antiseize qualities, but it is not the silver or copper looking goop (powdered metal suspended in grease, such as "Never-Seize"). Wheel bearing grease is what you want, if you can get it, the kind with moly disulfide. This makes it look dark brown or gray. |
I use this stuff, lasts forever. Avoid metal to metal contact during engine assembly. Sealed Power engine assembly prelubes have been proven effective by more than 30 years of use on the assembly lines of U.S. car, truck, and off-road engine manufacturers. They are formulated especially for prelubrication of camshaft lobes and lifters (mechanical and hydraulic) prior to engine oil circulation. Also recommended for bearings, valve stems, rocker arms, push rod tips, and other metal-to-metal contact areas within the engine. Prelube increases load-carrying capacity of the engine oil during break-in to prevent scuffing and galling. The prelubes have special additives which withstand the extreme pressures exerted on cams and lifters. These easy flowing petroleum based lubes function as oil additives, which will not affect oil viscosity. They also hold fast to surfaces on which they are applied and won't run off like engine oil, even after prolonged storage time. they sell it at most speed shops or auto stores. Just ask for engine assembly lube. |
Yes, used similar myself. |
Yeah, the stuff in the pictures is what I was describing. I'm glad it'll work, because I'd hate to waste that much grease. I got mine from Wal-Mart, too, by the way. |
Yea, your tip is what lead me to hit WalMart first. I thought I'd post pics to help out. Thanks.

Went to Walmart yesterday to pick up a tube of the super tech grease. I'm just anal retentive enough to want something with moly di in it, but not dumb enough to pay 2-1/2 times as much for a tiny jar. I must admit, I haven't been in a Walmart in 2 years, but that's a different story! Great tip! |
