Anybody ever use a Dry Lube like Lyman Spray Moly on BCG?

Dry lube is good for some of the smaller moving parts but really for a main part like a BCG use a good grease or (shudder) oil.... It will have the long lasting lubricity you NEED to keep your rifle running.

Just curious, as we use it on shotguns for the cold temps to keep them running where oil will stop an auto.

For various reasons, dry lubes don't work well in even semi-auto firearms, which is why the military don't use any.
It's one of those "good ideas" that just don't pan out in the Real World.

I've never used dry lube on my firearms but where it really shines is on the mag spring. I apply MolyKote 321 on all of my mag springs, AK,AR,G3,FAL. It makes them run smooth and protects from rust. MolyKote 321 is expensive so you might want to try a cheaper brand. I get mine for free from a friend who owns a machine shop.

I have used a lot of spray moly.
For a hunting trip I would say no problem.
For a few hundred rounds at the range I would look at a different solution.
