WoodsmanJim 160 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi all, After doing some research, including on this forum, it seems that graphite grease is 'the best' thing for mainsprings. With this in mind, as the title says, can you use graphogen on the mainspring when assembling a rifle? I ask mostly because I have some in the garage already from my other hobby (classic cars). It seems to me to be perfect for the job, it's a moly based graphite lube that's thick and sticky. can anyone with appropriate experience confirm or deny this? incase it helps, it's this stuff: http://www.burtonpower.com/graphogen-moly-compound-125g-tube-grap.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=prodlistad&utm_campaign=gb_feed?WbRf=ProdListAd&gclid=CILA4P6SlrcCFabLtAodBxQAJQ Many thanks, Jim Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've never used that particular grease but it sounds ideal. I normally use a 50-50 mix of moly and graphite of if I can get it that really stickey open gear spray lube but I can never seem to find it locally. Quote Link to post
