Best gun oil you use

[jastreb]

I normally do it in my man cave which is removed from the main house.

Best room in the house

Love my man cave but its small. I don't have enough room for cleaning process lengthwise. Length of rifle, plus length of cleaning rod to insert plus working room

I've just come across this.

Has anyone had any experience with it, I've used it once now and it seems to leave a nice coating of slightly milky looking oil.

It claims to exceed U.S. military specifications for wepons maintenance also cleans and impregnates the stock.

Im a fan of g96 at the moment, more for the smell than anything, ballistol is also good but stinks

[Bazooker]

I use this as it is a bit thicker than some machine oils, creates a good film.

Cheaper than most gun oils and smells good too!

Bore Tech oils for me.

Same for the last year or two.

What about Ballistol?

[BBJ]

I've been using Singer Sewing Machine Oil for years for the bore, exterior metalwork, bolt etc, I also use grease for the bolt lugs.

The old singer oil was always good.

What about Ballistol?

Just ordered a new shotgun yesterday , asked what to use , salesman told me that Ballistol was great and is what they use on all their display firearms , he sprayed it on a rifle while I was there , tiny sprays on barrel timber stock everywhere that didn't require grease and just polished it in .

Any light oil such as singer to prevent rust but prefer a lanolin based products these days as it smells more natural. For light cleaning jobs I use Eds Red, fine for most cleaning jobs.
Heavier oil on the bolt and grease on lugs including the shotty.

Any perks on actually performance with the lanolin you reckon or just the smell sells it for you?

Inox, lanox or dry lube for dry dusty conditions. Inox and lanox are true blue aussie made so you will be doing your country a service.

frog lube

Sweets,Inside and out!!!
Keep it off recoil pads though.
Best part about sweets is that you always get a bit of blue when you patch it out before you go shooting!!!

It is great for preventing rust and I figure the smell is more natural. But I dont use it for cleaning.

3 in 1 and inox are my go to oils.

I live in Far north QLD and EVERYTHING RUSTS! I've been using Eezox the last couple of months and it's worked as it should. I recommend it. Also, it smells strangely really nice... I have kind of subconsciously linked that smell with my rifles now, as I did with burnt cordite in my military days. When I see my rifles, part of the expectation is to smell Eezox now lol. Weirdo.

lol. Can't believe you mentioned the smell. Yes I find it pleasant too. Reason I find it funny is that one day last week when the family was away I took the chance to make myself comfy in front of tv in lounge room and reapply eezox to all my toys. I normally do it in my man cave which is removed from the main house.

It was all packed away before they came back, but the wife noted the smell and was upset with me. She said I am never allowed to use it in the house again. At which point I mentioned me putting up with that sh!t nailpolish remover and other chemicals she uses daily for years. .......It has now been 8 days, 6 hours and 18 mins.. still no sex.

Darling, does this cloth smell like Chloroform ?

KY?

[Oldbloke]

Something is not right if you need KY!

LOL

I use Brunox turbo spray for general cleaning & protection, and hoppes copper solvent.

Both seem to work well for their respective purposes.
