Lubricating Agents

CLP. Never looked back.

Ive always used Hoppes, but recently came onto some Fireclean for just a little bit more, giving it a try. IMO, they all work, dont overthink it.

I'm thinking of getting some tungsten disulphide and burnishing it into all wear surfaces. Maybe even the barrel. Then the only reason for conventional oil is to prevent corrosion. Has anyone tried this?

I use breakfree clp...its great but looking to use something less oily...

I've been using Rand's CLP. It's thicker than Break Free, but works well.
TW-25B on the rails/slide, Rand everywhere else.

Dang, I thought this thread was gonna be related to the "beaver attacks man..." thread.

"Lubricating Agents"

I thought it was gonna' be about FighterPilot and the BATF.

I'm no expert, but I would say you'll always need some type of lube.

I use grease never had a problem.

After reading the gun cleaner test posted in this thread I gave hornady one shot a try. I really like it. It's order less, isn't oily, and cleans well. All you do is spray down your gun and tip it upside down to let the excess drip off. I only needed to run one patch down my barrel because the spray cleaned it all out. The only downside is that it's $8 a can and I'm about half way through the can after cleaning three guns. If it lasted longer I would buy it again, but for now I'm going back to hops 9 and some hops oil

What is the smell like? I clean my guns indoors in my home office area and tend to avoid stuff that stinks too much.

When it's wet it has a light chemical smell like rubbing alcahol but when it is dry it doesn't smell. I would be comfortable using it in my bedroom

Thanks man. While not cheap, it is still cheaper than Froglube, I think I'll give it a try once my current batch of CLP runs out.

BTW I use WD-40 or Brake Cleaner (the range I go to provide them for free at their cleaning station) as a solvent to flush barrels of shotguns, then finish up with more expensive CLP products like Froglube. You might want to do this to save a little money on CLP expense, especially if you use your firearms every week and clean them each time like I do.

I'll give break cleaner a try. I bet I could make one shot last longer I just used a bunch to clean our my trigger asembly. Make sure you get the gun cleaner not the case lube. Hornady likes to name every product one name. They have about 4 lock n load presses, all differet but same name.

Super Lube on all my guns. I find the oils to be too light... They seem to evaporate away while shooting or even if in storage for a while.

Its not even close to being cheaper than FrogLube? Eight bucks a can and is 1/2 empty after cleaning three guns? What math says thats even close to being cheaper?

My paste container will last 3 to 4 years and I clean my guns after every shoot. The bottle will last at least a year, minimum. And that's cleaning at least a handgun and a rifle once a week.
