I am a big fan of Breakfree CLP. It isn't the most effective at cutting through old gunk, but it is all I need for my newer stuff. And I like the smell of it, it smells like bananas. My dad has a bunch of convienient small bottles of the stuff from his military days.

 

I'll use CLP on most things, and I use Hoppes outside when cleaning my Mosin or whenever I get a new to me firearm and the bore is crazy dirty.

Froglube I'm using currently and also hoppes 9 solvent.

 

Anybody else use frog lube?

Wd-40 and a coat of CLP and your set..

M-pro 7. Haven't touched hoppe's since

I was really surprised, I just noticed this thread and expected everyone to use ballistol and it's only mentioned once. I clean my M&P using hickock45's method, so a little isopropyl alcohol to get the gunk off, and then ballistol as the cleaner and lube. The more I clean the gun with ballistol, the less dirty it is next time because it leaves things with a sort of teflon coating (it doesn't actually have teflon in it).

+1 on the MPro7

+1 on the Slip2000 EWL

 

This is what I use as well

Slip 2000 products is all I use, and a majority of what we stock.

 

People are a little hesitant at first, but then they see the light

I stitched to EWL after talking to a buddy who's a manufacturer, he reccomends it for his rifles after he did a few tests of different lubes out there in different conditions. i have to admit though that Froglube is starting to look interesting as well. I'll probably pick up a kit and give it a shot on one or two rifles and see how it works.

Hello, I am new to the board and this topic came up in a google search. I realize it is an old post but I would just like to say to the OP and for others as well. Generally, safety besides checking to see if the chamber is clear is very important with guns. I tend to always use a hospital type mask, one of my various type of gloves depending on the work I am doing and safety glasses. I can't tell you how I got a bad bit of inflammation in my lungs during a dremel session with a Russian military surplus ammo can. I like an idiot did not have a mask on and breathed a considerably amount of metal dust, this could have ended up a lot worse. Like I said I don't normally follow this board but I just want to remind everyone when it comes to guns, working with liquids, or in general working in a shop environment, Safety should be your first priority.

 

I can remember a specific event where a machine got hold of my glove instead of my hand and chewed it up. About the multiple types of gloves I have, I generally have gloves that I use that will not absorb liquids and are generally used during cleaning, lubrication or other such things. Then I have gloves for working with wood. Painting gloves. Grip gloves, you name, there is a glove for it in my tools. Also, those hospital masks aren't that big of a deal and can really protect you from breathing in wood and metal dust particles aside from possibly toxic chemical liquids that have evaporated into gas form, now they aren't as powerful as a true gas mask but this will offer a decent level of protection.

 

Anyway, I know this is an old topic but I came across it from a google search and just wanted to make sure safety was still a number one priority for people before they dive head first into any type of DIY gunsmithing or simple cleaning job. Also, if you really are a risk player, keep a fire extinguisher around, LOL, I am sure those of you who smirked while reading that know exactly what I am talking about. Anyway, guns are a great hobby, I am not from Jersey but go there often for Thanksgiving as the majority of my family are NYC expats who fled to NJ a few years ago and when I get the chance I go out there to spend holidays there. I ve never even looked into the possibility of a hunt or what not while in NJ but from what I heard the hurdles are enough to make you wanna shoot yourself instead of any game by the time all the bureaucracy has been dealt with.

 

I live in a state almost as bad as the Northeast bad 3 NY, MA, and NJ which is Illinois and I don't live in Chicago but I am in the same county and forced to deal with their BS gun laws, we were the 50th state to approve CCW but its still dragging along before its actually going to be in effect, the courts gave the state so much time to get things setup, while the bill was passed and vetoed by the Gov and then ran through the State Congress with enough votes to over rule his veto, a miracle had been born, however, this was around I cant remember for sure early June or July of 2013 but the earliest a person if they were to keep up with everything would be able to recieve a CCW permit in March '14. I ve only been here a few years and been looking for opportunities to move out of the county at the minimum or move to a better state(pretty much every state that IL borders) with Wisconsin being my #1 right now. I ve considered Vermont but I just  dont know the whole story there. I just like any state that doesn't have a law about "assault weapons" and is friendly to open carry of rifles, I am not sure if Wis allows it full fledged but I know PA does.

 

Anyway, happy shoot'n, sorry for re-opening this old thread. I will try to pop on this forum every now and again rom this point on.

 

Peace,
