Firearm Cleaning & Maintenance Guns are mechanical tools that require routine cleaning and maintenance to remain dependable. This is especially true for defensive weapons that must work as expected when you need them the most. This forum will cover these important areas and encourage you to ask questions before taking on an unfamiliar task.

A little goes a very long way.
so thats $17.90 per ounce and $286.40 per pound

That must be some realllly slippery stuff

I've been using Hoppe's lately. May try Gunzilla in the future though.

i'm always trying different products,last time i used Hoppes Elite Cleaner (which i liked alot) to clean the gun and then lubed w/ homemade lube-

2-parts Mobil 1 full synthetic
1-part dexron transmission fluid
1-part STP oil treatment

mix all together and i think you have a decent lube!

Was using Miltec-1 for the longest until a friend of mine turned me to Slip 2000. It's like bahter (butter) in a bottle.

Never seen an action move so smoothly and lasts.

The demo was clean and lube weapon, go to range, fire 1000 rounds, return home, DO NOT CLEAN, 30 days later return to range and another 1000 rounds flawlessly through weapon. I'm sold!
