'Anyone Used Archoil?.....

[sonofeugene]

I'm a huge fan of moly and its even better cousin, tungsten disulfide. I just found this on the web and was wondering if anyone has any personal experience using it.

And for those who've never heard of tungsten disulfide, here's a short comparison between it and moly:

I went ahead and ordered some anyway. And some of their top end grease as well:

I have high hopes.

I hope you like them.

At $13 bucks for a 2 OZ bottle of gun oil and $70 bucks for a tube of grease, that is way too expensive for me.

Hoppe's oil is $2.99 for a 4 oz bottle and $5 bucks worth of bearing grease from NAPA lasts a life time.

I do not have anything that deserves such high priced lube. Just Wilsons, Baers, Colts, etc. They all look healthy with the Hoppe's or Remoil on them.

Yeah I truly think this part of the industry is 99% snake oil. My grandfather has guns in his collection that date back to the conflict. All lubed with 3 in 1 oil. All function perfectly with no signs of odd wear. Don't waste your money.

Well, too late.

However, there's absolutely nothing that's snake oil about tungsten disulfide. It is recognized to be the very best of the dry lubricants and superior to molybdenum disulfide (moly) in virtually every way. Until now, I had never seen a grease or gun lube with WS2 in it. MoS2 yes. WS2 no. I'll be using it on other things as well.

I confess I am a bit of a nut about lubricants. Kinda like some people are a bit nuts about audio equipment.

Powerstroke guys swear by the 9100. I didn’t know they made gun oil. Update the OP after you use it for a bit.

dry lube is different than a oily wet lube but yeah should work as good as motor oil on a gun.
