    Which gun cleaner/Lube smells best

    I didnt really know where to post this question and figured general gun discussion would be the safest bet.

    Im just curious in your guys experience. Which gun cleaner/lubricant smells the best. I ask because Ive tried Ballistol and the stuff just smells awful. Its an unbearable combination of funky feet and the inside of old boxing gloves to me and I cant stand it. So I started using One Shot and its ok to me, but its lubricating qualities seem subpar.

    So Im looking for a good non toxic gun cleaner that I can use inside that wont send myself and my wife running outside gasping for air.

        Frog Lube smells the best. But I don't use it.
        Break Free clp is what I use. Hoppes #9 for stubborn grit/stains.

              #9 if you want smell
              Wipe-out, Butches Bore Shine. Sweets &.62 or Barnes CR-10, Tetra Gun, Shooters Choice if you want clean. There are also Montana products and a few others. All of these are much better than #9. Wipe-Out is easy and no smell
              A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                          Rem Oil is what I use. I think it smells fine. Very low key, and not noxious at all.

                            I like M-Pro 7 products, but the oil may congeal a bit when it is cool and if it sits a long time. I also like Slip2000 carbon remover. Those are not noxious smellers. Frog lube does smell the best though.
