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.

Edit. That was a dumb question, you wouldn't have posted it if it didn't work. Kindly disregard.

Just placed an order for Gunzilla, thanks to you guysWill see how it works on my 1911s and AR. Actually Ed's Red works fine and cheap, but that kerosene odor is pretty STRONG and it lingers around. The commander in chief starting to throw fits. i clean my FAs inside our room,hehehe.
best,
Joe

Another vote for Ed's Red.

A gallon of it costs around 12 bucks.

I saw that recipe in a recent tread here. Guy was writing about ATF and why it works better then most gun oils.

Tried Gunzilla for the first time tonight on my 1911, It works well.

Tip: Get a travel size hair spray bottle from Target to apply it. Otherwise you waist a lot of it.
