Hornady One shot on a gasser

[lennyo3034]

Has anyone tried Hornady One shot dry lube on a gas gun?

I ask because I'm going to be running a large frame gasser in 2-day PRS matches this year with a Maverick. After about 80 rounds, carbon starts to build up on the gas rings and sometimes chokes the rifle. I can solve this by increasing the gas from the gas block, but looking at other methods too.

It appears carbon from the suppressor is sticking to the lubricant (Slip2000). Most places its not a big deal, but it is causing the gas rings to be much tighter when dirty vs clean.

I'm thinking One shot could be a potential solution since its a dry lube, but looking to see if anyone else has tried.

Thanks.

I use it on all my rifles, bolt guns and gassers

I also use it on all my rifles. Definitely makes cleaning my gasser easier.

Instead of that dry lube use some gun grease. The Boretech kind or the Lucas Oil Gun Grease are both good to go.

I really like grease vs other forms of lube. Even with heavy carbon your lube stays in ONE PLACE (where you put it) and it retains its lubricity a lot longer than anything else I've ever used.

Supposedly if you live in a really cold environment grease is not ideal, but I don't have that problem.

0w or 5w20 is usually good for me for 300ish rounds np

Turning up the gas has worked for me.

I'm just wondering what people's experiences with dry lube is.

I really liked one shot on my AR15 until I got a suppressor. I can run tons of rounds without a problem with one shot. But after sitting over night dirty I have problems the next day.

Thanks for input.

What issues were you having? When you took it apart, was there a specific area that caused the problem?

Thanks.

good info when you have to get it running in a pinch

Just generally dirty. Enough to make everything gum up. My gun was over gassed when I first added the can so that didn’t help. But I’m still on a quest to find a lube that will let me run for a few days of heavy shooting without cleaning.
