Just get the right moly from MacCari.
A small tub of the stuff will last you a long, long time.
While you are at it, get the heavy, velocity and clear tars. They are all excellent.

Here is a quick run down.

Moly:
Very pasty and thick. Not too good by itself, needs to be thinned.
A bit of moly mix with silicone oil for springer piston seals, linkages, pivots, and anywhere there is steel to steel contact that needs to be lubed.
A bit of moly mix with Pelletgun oil for pump guns (MSP or SSP) linkages, pivots and anywhere there is steel to steel contact that needs to be lubed. Some trigger contacts and pivots.

Heavy tar:
Mainly to smooth and dampen springs in springers. Applied a light coat to outside of springs.

Velocity tar:
A bit of a strange substance. Bad name for it. Use it to reduce the velocity of things is more like it.

Very, very, very sticky and stringy. Fortified with moly. It stick and stays put. Much more so than the heavy tar. Don't get it on your cloth. It will never wash off.
Use it where you want permanent heavy lube and it will also tighten up loose tolerances. Springer barrel pivots, cocking arm slide friction points.

Clear tar:
Clear synthetic grease fortified with Teflon. Put it where you don't want dark grease that can get everywhere from handling. Springer breech area. Safety levers and buttons.

There is also the Logan precision light synthetic grease. Very, very light grease. Any lighter it would be oil, which is excellent for triggers, magazines, valve stems, O-rings and other fine mechanicals. I got the Logan grease from Straight Shooters in the US.

Thanks ETA ....

I think I'll order 1 of each ....I've got a couple of rifles due for some servicing so time to stock up on seals, lube and springs......

Nice thread for referencing lube applications with ETA's "quick run down list" ....

OK so here's a question for you guys.... If the Moly 60 is too thick and must be thinned out.... why has everyone on this forum, like ever since I've been a member, been telling people not to use any other Moly product?....

Bob, I was going to ask that question myself. Thanks.

I'm curious if anyone has tried Red Tek grease on airguns. Sticks better than baby "doo" on a blanket.

I don't have Honda Moly-60 but I do have some moly paste from Jim Macarri. I think it might be Dow Corning DC-77. It's a very thick paste and works fine for application to pistons, springs, washers, pivot bolts, trigger parts, cocking shoes, spring guides, pivot wedges, and burnishing into compression chambers. I thin it down with Pellgunoil or 30W-ND oil when applying to pivot rivets in linkages or anywhere I can't apply the paste. Thinning is down will allow the moly to be worked into the tight area.

Cheers,
Todd

I've got Macarri Heavy Tar and Velocity tar plus I've also got Honda's Moly 60. The 60 is the lightest of the bunch and has the same consistency as Canadian Tire Moly Paste.

I use the Macarris stuff on springs and the moly 60 on any metal to metal contact point like piston to compression tube. I use very little of each and almost try to burnish in the Moly 60. I do not thin down any of it I just use it as is.

I am by no means an expert but have recently redone a Patriot and a HW85 and both seem fine with no excessive dieselling.

I never thin it down and i have never found any differences between Macarri lube or Honda's Moly 60 .I do believe most over lube there guns i have bought many used gun that were way over lubed .
