Has anyone tried Gunzilla? Made by an old guy and his kids, starting in their garage, in Lansing Michigan. Very nice folks. Synthetic somehow as it's not considered "hazardous material". It works very well. They got a contract to supply the Saudi military. I got a shop in Anchorage to carry it and they tell me it's selling very well. I also got them to carry Ballistol and that is selling well also. My only complaint with Ballistol is that I've found if it's left in the chamber and you start shooting that you'll find cases a bit hard to extract after a bit. This especially in a pump gun. It turns into a very light grease like consistency when left in a barrel and in the chamber it seems to heat up when you start shooting and "glue" the shells in a bit. I've taken to brushing the chambers of a S/S out before shooting. On the other hand, this quality of turning into a light grease makes it ideal for hosing the guts of a receiver with before reassembling a gun. I spray my Parker innards and let it drip dry then reassemble and you can take a gun apart years later and it will look like it was lightly varnished and will be exactly as you left it and with zero rust. That part I really like. Seems it will not wash away or run into and oil-soak the stock head. Anyone else have this experience?
