Cleaning oils

[The_Gun_Guy]

Alright it is time that we put all of our favorite types of cleaners under one topic.

This is all your opinion so don't hold back.

 

My favorite would have to be for barrels-birchwood&casey bore scrubber

 

and for parts it would be hoppe's elite gun cleaner.

I like to use M-Pro7 to clean (no smell) and FP-10 (scroll down to the bottom of the web page) for oiling the gun.

 

I use Birchwood Choke Tube Lube for the choke tube threads.

What I like to do for choke tubes is use birchwood on the threads and applya light coat to the rest of the choke with rem oil to prevent corrosion, I came up with the idea after a short dispute with other members about choke oil, refer to http://www.benelliusa.com/forums/ultimatebb.php/topic/11/34.html

for details

The only study I have seen on products for corrosion prevention is here:

http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/GunTech/NewsletterArchive.aspx?p=0&t=1&i=503

 

This was just looking at rust prevention not lubricity.

 

WD-40 did quite well in these tests. I have used WD-40 on the outside of guns before and it has not given me any trouble. I wouldn't use it on internal moving parts.

I used wd-40 when I first bought my nova but know use http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat602007-cat20797&id=0041190212440a&navCount=1&podId=0041190&parentId=cat20797&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=XG&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20797&hasJS=true and http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=55842&hvarDept=400&hvarEvent=&hvarClassCode=4&hvarSubCode=13&hvarTarget=browse and haven't had a malfunction or any built up or rust yet.

Also, I carry a mini bottle or Rem Oil in my gun case just in case it needs a spray down in the field.
