Hahahahahaha nobody who gives half a s**t about their guns let's them get rusty or does regularly clean them so pretty much any solvent will do the trick

I have managed to find another GS within range who does sell G96 and have picked some up today, thanks to everyone who has suggested something.

For cleaning i usually use transmission fluid, and lot of the time lube with it as well, if not I'll use hydraulic oil for the lubing.

Funny you should say transmission oil, the automotive oils are great lubricants, much more R&D than gun oils. I recommend Boretech Cu+ for copper, the best solvent for copper I have used. Smells so much better than Sweets 762 as well. Automotive grease for rust protection on blued surfaces when in storage.

I use Pro-Shot Copper solvent for copper removal.
[Seems to work better than Sweets, and is water soluble]

I use G96 for general cleaning and lubrication; I reckon it has a MANLY pong to it!
I use a thin smear of the Pro-Shot bolt grease (in the syringe) for lubing the bolt lugs and/or slides
I am yet to try out the BoreTech C4 Carbon Remover I bought a few months back; I wanted something to loosen the carbon on various muzzle brakes.

Cheers,

Rod.

Butches Bore shine is a good cleaner. for Blueing on the outside of barrels I use a bit of saddle soap, its a bees wax type product. I use most of the cleaners and not been that impressed by butches for the money. It reminds me of another easily home made product.
