I'm always curious to see what kind of cleaning products other users out there are using. So I thought I'd start a thread about it and see what kind of cleaning agents and lubes you guys use.
Right now I've been using MPro 7 cleaner and Slipstream oil. I was brought up like most of us using Hoppes No. 9 and Hoppes Oil, I've also used Gun Scrubber in the past on barrels before cleaning them thoroughly. I've used a lot of CLP since that's what the military gives us and I've never been overly impressed, seems like a jack of all trades master of none sort of thing. Though I've been told that CLP works best when applied as a lube before hand and it than makes it harder for the carbon to adhere to the metal. I've been trying the MPro 7 degreaser vs the conventional solvents since it's less aggressive and doesn't eat at things, so far I've had great luck with it. The Slipstream is something I heard about through a blogger I periodically read that's suppose to be a nano-lubricant and synthetic oil blend, so far it seems to be working pretty damn good and is nice and slick. Next thing I want to try is aircraft grease and see how that works out. I've also heard of a fair number of people using auto oil for lube as well.
What about y'all?
