My CLP is still in the little bottles that the Army issued me. Every now and then I like to open up my cleaning kit and take a whiff..sweet memories. Also its all I use because I have so much if it leftover that I dont see the sense in buying anything else.

>>60200559
Should use bacon grease or unsalted lard bro. Smells great
>>
>>60200532
cleaner: boretech
it's nice because it isn't solvent based, it's detergent based. works great on copper fouling and carbon gunk.
lubricant:
corrosionX, works great and I use it on other shit like tools and exterior fittings.

I was excited about coomlube but I realized that I really can't be asked to clean, wipe out the cleaning chemical, and then apply the lube. Now I just use BreakFree CLP because that's what lubeanon said was the best clp.

ballistol. it works really well for lever actions. I’ll use boretech carbon eliminator if I’ve done a heavy day of shooting

FPNI Hoppes or Kerosine, basically same thing.

Olive Oil, non carcinogenic and you can also use it for cooking.
Crisco and bar-soap for grease.

Regular maintenance as needed. See above.

>>60200747
yes but you should know it will strip literally every drop of oil from a gun and should not come in contact with oil-finished stocks. make sure you get non-chlorinated cleaner as it is believed chlorinated cleaners can weaken steel. gun scrubber is basically chlorinated brake cleaner

Bf clp is the lazy man's choice. If there's a problem? Just add more. Cleaning? Just add more. Some quick lube at the range? Just add more.
>>
>>60200532
I do basic cleaning and lubing with slip 2k oil.
When something really needs cleaning I use mpro7 gun cleaner solvent then lube with slip 2k.
I always spray ballistol down the barrel.
It's non-toxic or bust for me since I love to finger my guns.

I’m curious. can anyone confirm?

Exactly the one you posted, along with the spray can version for some stuff. I've been trying the Lucas extreme duty stuff for sliding areas though and it seems to work well, my pump shotgun in particular feels smoother with it than just CLP.

I recall an anecdote from an anon in the army, who knew someone who ate a tostitos scoop chip full of regular clp. died in hospital after ?weeks? of agony.
Cleary ballistol is the superior beverage.

This is me 100% of the time and it's 100% true. I douse whatever I'm safequeening then put it in a sock. I douse whatever I am cleaning for recreation and I microfiber towel it. CLP is OP

I’ve only ever used CLP, I spray it on pretty heavy and let it work it’s magic, then wipe off with a rag/ clean tighter spaces with a Q-tip, then spray a lil more as a protective coat. IDK it works on my firearms.

Me and several of my friends have all drank ballistol and once we even fried burgers with it. The burgers smelled amazing but tasted like soap.

I like #9 for a solvent, Ballistol for general purpose lube/coating, and Froglube as cosmoline

BreakFree looking good there.
Theres some tests done on jewtube too ofc.
Like this one showing breakfree doing very poorly for corrosion.
Judging just by this chart would make it seem the only reason to pick breakfree would be that it has the best physical wear protection out of any clp that can pass the freeze test.
>>
>>60203080
wonder what it did to him
>>
>>60200559
Mix it with motoroil and you're GTG. Doesn't do much for protecting from rust though.
>>
>>60203186
I like project farm but I don’t think this was a good comparison for what the average gun experiences. I finally settled on ballistol because it doesn’t migrate inside my rifle. also a big problem with the other “wipe off” corrosion tests. I stuck with ballistol because I spray it on and it self levels and evaporates into a thin grease. I have a knife I sprayed with ballistol and hung upside down and there was still a thin layer of grease on the entire blade after 3 months. I was using hoppes but after a couple of weeks it looked like you hadn’t even oiled it. I don’t think there’s a perfect oil for any one gun they all have different requirements depending on how often and how much you shoot them at one time as well as the type of action I think

I figured I'd try this. After several months of storage my BCG was still covered in it. CLP would have run off by then. I haven't seen any rust, but I keep my stuff in a safe with Evadry packs.

Who relies on fancy lube to prevent rust? We've had corrosion resistant finishes for hundreds of years now. If a light oil can't do the job then you shouldn't be taking that gun into that environment anyways. But, I guess this could be useful in some SHTF/LARP scenarios
>>
I've been trying some food-grade super lube machine oil & lubricant. Functions well and doesn't smoke but seems to evaporate in storage. More testing needed.
>>
>>60203494
Lubriplate?
>>
>>60203466
Is that, all pitting?
Anyways; i get caught out in the rain with my guns fairly regularly, i'd rather not take any chances.
>>
>>60203515
Lubricate gun grease which I guess technically isn't rated as food-grade but seems to be a very similar formulation. Super Lube 52007 for oil.

>>60203535
*lubriplate. They sell a food rated version but it only comes in buckets.

>>60200532
I hate cleaning guns so I got some Birchwood Casey gun scrubber and blast it through my barrel and any problem spots. I let it evaporate out and then I use whatever lube is on hand, usually Hoppes, BreakFree CLP (if I'm really lazy this is all I use), or Super Lube (also good for stuff like 3D printers and not as messy). I also use either RemOil wipes or Renaissance Wax to protect the finish and prevent rust.
>>
>>60203628
Yeah when im feeling especially lazy i will just take my spraybottle of breakfree and stream spray it into all the nooks and crannies, cycle the gun a bit, spray in a bunch more, most of the dirt and carbon will then just run out of the gun with the excess, its a tremendous waste of clp, and isnt entirely effective against gritty dirty of sand, but yuhknow.

I prefer Radcolube just because it smells like the old CLP we used to use in the army back in the day. I understand the military has changed the formulation of the CLP they use now and I don't give a shit. A CLP is a CLP. I prefer the one whose smell reminds me of cleaning guns back in the company HQ.
>>
>>60203654
G96 is the way. Their nano grease also feels awfully like coomoil when wiped.
>>
>>60200532
for cleaning I use Brunox Turbo-Spray. it's a very thin oil which deals admirably with fouling and rust.

for lubrication and protection I use Total Ceran XS 80. super slick. stable against aging. corrosion protection suitable for marine environments. makes cleaning a breeze.
I smear it generously on everything: bolts, rails, firing pins (thin), revolver lock, trigger mechanism, springs, screws, barrels, outside, inside. everything runs slicker than ever before and it never failed.

for small parts which I can't reach directly and I don't want to take apart I use coom oil. also works great.
>>
>>60203250
>in a safe with Evadry packs
Get a VCI pack if you're using a safe. Cheap and you can put bare metal in there in a marine climate, it'll come out spotless. The brand I know is Napier VP90 but it's all basically the same stuff.

>>60203654
Does G96 runs a non-aerosol variant? In terms of chemistry its nonsense to compare it to Coomoil, here a comparision to Breakfree CLP is better. But both the arctic and winter version are worth to compare to G96 since the base oils are in comparable viscosities. Next year im doing the deep development of the winter line which includes formulation testing by 3rd party labs to get hard numbers at -20°C and -40°C (viscosity), Breakfree CLP is my source for MIL-Spec and G96 might be a option since Alaskabruh loves it
>>60201385
You dont need to fully clean out the cleaner to use Coom, best way is to clean a gun with BF CLP and just wipe off CLP on the parts that do moving contact. A quick wipe with a QTIP or kitchen paper and than Coom... they can mix, both are PAOs and dont hate each other.
>>
>>60204450
Is coom lube non toxic?
Also does it have a smell? In fact I prefer at least a faint smell.

Kroil to clean the bore. FP10 for cleaning everything else and lubing. TetraGrease for certain guns and parts.

>>60200532
I usually just use CLP and/or Lubriplate. Have any of you guys tried Luca oil CLP? Someone gave me a bottle the other day I have never tried it before.

Moka raifus (USA) or sending a letter to my german home (EU). Im sourcing chemicals for a new product right now and if possible its getting into MOKAs to the end of this year, that new product is worth is without any question.

I (read)heard about it on a mongolian basket weaving forum , and aparently (from what i have read) it is good stuff. Couldn't find it by searching "Coomlube".

you know you could use a calcium sulfonate grease instead and you'd have superb rust protection along with excellent lubricity.
and if you want to make it thinner use mobil 0w20.
