Prolix: One Bottle Gun Cleaning Solution

[Annihilator]

I’ll have to try ballistol, or however it’s spelled.

I can’t use hopp’s #9 because it starts an instant argument with my wife the second I twist the top off.

but more importantly it makes me pit bull sneeze like crazy, and I feel bad

my neighbor swears by wd-40 he claims he’s been using it for the past 50 years without problem. He even uses it on his safe queens I couldn’t even imagine owning.

That’s one of the worst things you can use on any firearms.

Hoppes #9 “AKA" gun cologne has limited use when I'm cleaning my firearms. I mostly use it to remove excess oil of of metal parts. I find CLP to be a better product at removing carbon build up and other deposits.

I’ve read that if I recall. I do live in a tropical rain forest/swamp so I’m assuming he rather the guns be tarnished than rusted

I think most gun cleaners/oils are just all “snake oil”, or marketing.

You need a solvent, and just plain o’ motor oil for the water displacement properties.

WD40 ......one of worst known things for guns. Basically just a moisture displacement.

...would for storage only be ok ?
I’ve heard yeas and nays

 

[Annihilator]

Nay

Saw that product article also from the NRA, haven’t seen it yet around me, but looks kinda interesting, just wonder if it’s safe on polymer guns, some will say and some won’t, good link grasshopper.

Funny, but I’ve never seen it on shelves either.... seems to be about the least advertised, and maybe the least sold, of any out there. Wonder if that means anything (?).

I wouldn't. Doesn't really lubricate well or at all from my experience. Light rust appeared after about year.
For long term storage, I use gun grease and wrap in heavy cloth. Other than cleaning off gunk, no issues noted.
Am no expert, just use what know.

Thanks Anni,
Almost sounds like the "miraculous" citrus all purpose cleaner sales push that was around a few years ago to me.
Still skeptical about new fangled miracle cleaners.

 

[Annihilator]

Yea, I like the Lucas products here, but willing to try other products also, I love shooting guns, hate cleaning them, especially .22lr......lol...can’t seem to talk the wife into cleaning them......

She's one smart lady!
May want to do a Tom Sawyer fence painting routine though? "Oh, this is so much fun, could do all day!"
- Just remember to grin and smile while doing? Otherwise, it flops!
