    Second the stank factor of Balistol, pew!
    I’m still using Break free mostly. Bought a large volume container in the 90’s and still using it.
    It’s great for a coat of oil in the bore too. Why do so many people forget that?
    Bolts and triggers get grease.
    Birchwood Casey gun sheath (or whatever they’re calling it now) for the wipedown.

    Newsflash: nitro solvent is not gun lube.

    That being said, has anyone here ever used Nyoil?

    I use dollar store Non Clorinated Brake cleaner/Carb cleaner for the trigger group area to clean and flush out debris. Ed's Red for cleaning of the action, bore (and maybe Hoppes #9 for copper fouling) and rest of the gun. Followed by a good rub/wipe down with a dry rag before oiling springs with Hoppes Elite oil on and Super X synthetic grease on the rails. Barrels get a wipe with Ed's Red. It works for me and does not cost much.

    I heard this stuff doesn’t dry out quickly.... safe on polymer and skin....

    Personally I use clp or brake cleaner to clean, and use just about any line available like slip 2000, frog lube, rem oil, or hoppes oil. I use fireclean on my suppressor Pistons, and keep a bottle or ewl lube in my range bag, since the m10/9 likes to run wet....

    If I know I won’t be shooting something for a while, a thin coat of eezox will be applied.

    I really like militec 1. I’ve used it on all of my firearms for many years and never had a problem.

    Poor Man's CLP
    Equal parts , Dexron VI Automatic Transmission Fluid , Super Tech $5.14 -1 qt. (Walmart)
    and K-1 Kerosene $5.27 - 1 qt. (Walmart).
    Mix well and you will have 1/2 gallon ( 64 ...that's sixty - four ounces) of CLP !
    And this is good stuff I might add.
