Gun cleaner

[swampfoxx]

I use BrakeCleen in the action to loosen everything up for cleaning, and Hoppes #9 for the barrel. Then lube with a mixture of 50% 5W-30 Mobile One and 50% ATF.

I used Weapon Shield and am in the process of switching over to Frog Lube.

You may want to research Frog Lube as many had issues with it before dropping it.

What kind of issues? I have heard nothing but good things about it.

Hmmm, and yet I've heard bad. What is this sorcery?
Don't remember details, something about leaving a film or something. Don't care because there are better things out there cheaper, and less exotic.

That is what I was trying to find out? I did some Google magic-fu and found some articles about the oil version drying up and creating a sticky film. A lot of people apparently had this happen but you are supposed to put a thin film heat the parts and then wipe off once it has cooled so the is no excess to gunk up. So take it with a grain of salt. I place it just on the BCG and follow the directions and haven't had an issue so far but to each their own.

Also if you looked at the link I posted there aren't many better rust/lubricating products out there at least among the 46 or so tested..

Sounds over complicated to me, I just use heavy weight synthetic motor oil. Works fine. The Glocks get aeroshell grease, no problems.

Hoppe's #9 & CLP with boresnakes & toothbrushes.

#9 is a great cleaner, and it smells like freedom to me. I tried, but I can't convince the hubby to wear it as cologne. lol

Yep, too late! From what I understand she is already married and you are soon to maybe "hanging" yourself also!
How are you doing friend? Good to see you on the forum!

+1 for Ed' s Red. When I was first introduced to it, I thought the guy telling me about it had lost his mind. But 3 years later, and it's about the only thing I use anymore.

Here's a link to mixing instructions.

Ha, yeah I'll be heading to SC soon. My only concern is what I consider SC's draconian gun laws. MS has some bad reputation but it's got every other state beat or at least equal to the most free gun states.
That concern is not nearly enough to get me second guessing though, for sure.

Hubby says he won the wife lotto, and he didn't even know he bought a ticket. LOL
