I've used Marvel Mystery Oil for over 40 yrs. as a fuel stabilizer & upper cylinder lube in all my vehicles,wonderful stuff. I've thought about using it as a lubricant for my guns. I'd like to know what research you found to convince you to use it for gun cleaning & maintenance.

I recently tried Gunzilla and now that is the only thing I use. Made a big difference on ease of cleaning and my guns work very smoothly.

It's Zero Friction for me, but I'm expecting my Gunzilla to be delivered 'today'...we'll see how that stuff works.
