Universal Industries, a contractor. First for Colt, then on their own marking on the base plate

I was a dry coating, a dry lube spray that was tough as nails. I talked with the inventor when working with him on R&D field tests of a dry lube and cleaner he eventually sold to Hornady, now marketed as "One Shot" Back then (mid 1980s) he gave me a spray can of the grey stuff and I refinished a bunch of mags for our SWAT team, and my own AR15.
Maybe this can work
Lyman Super Moly Spray Lube 13oz Aerosol
or maybe Molykote D-321R as well.
Hmmmm... Thinking back, I picked up a couple more cans in the early 1990s at a gunshow. It was so tough, I used it to paint black SGW lowers to match Colt uppers on builds I did. It was in a military issue can (white label, IIRC) with a FSN on it. Maybe a search of FSN for dry film lube might yield it. I always check surplus stores, but haven't seen any in 20 years or so.
Thank you, I live in Italy so will check what I can find here.
