However, unless there is some kind of bonding agent, pure moly or tungsten will be removed in the presence of oil...which is likely to be present (to clean moly OR tungsten from my rifle barrels a combination of penetrating oil among other chemicals makes short work of either).

So! I know you do you homework, and a dry lube like Moly makes a lot of sense, but I'm just curious what exactly is this moly stuff is mixed with that is being applied? Shrade's Parkerizing comes to mind as an agent that can be applied, that has some inherent dry lube abilities, and is impervious to (gun) oils.

Then again, I wonder if Jerry's Gaskets has any of the original DAG stuff?
