What gun oil is everyone using?
 

What brand of gun oil/nitro solvent is everyone using?
I have heard that Young's 303 is one of the best, but I don't see it offered in the US?

I use Rig on articulating surfaces and wear points.

I use Ballistol on everything else.

3 in One on wear areas and ballistol on everything else including items other than firearms.

Generally I wipe things down lightly with Clenzoil. For moving parts a tiny drop of any gun oil or a thin film of Lubriplate on larger moving surfaces (if George Digweed uses it it's good enough for me...) I don't get the "oil/solvent/cleaner" all in one thing. I know folks use Breakfree or Clenzoil as a bore cleaner and lubricant all in one but always believe separate products do a better job. I use Shooters Choice bore solvent followed by Shooters Choice Shotgun and Choke Tube Cleaner (to me nothing melts plastic wad material like this) if it's bad in there. For the bore a film of CLP. There are a lot of these things out there and to me always not much difference in products but then again I don't live near salt water or corrosive environments

FYI, the broader topic of cleaning and care is dealt with on the FAQ page off the main web page, in FAQ #9; #10; #20 under the Parker Maintenance and Repair section. (thanks to Bindlestiff for this reference.)

G 96 for rust prevention, after cleaning. doesn't harm wood,

I had looked around earlier but didn't see that! Thanks!

Good ol' "Bindlestiff" - I sure do miss him on this forum.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Rem-Oil. It's what I use on the surfaces.

Ken

I like Rem oil but may not be available now.Bobby

Like Dean I use Ballistol moistened on a sheep's wool pad to wipe down my long guns and pistols. Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube II Gun Grease on metal contact points. Semi thick and doesn't run. Renaissance wax on blued firearms but it can used on everything.

Clenzoil to clean. I’ll place my complete receiver in an ultrasonic cleaner for 3-5 cycles, blow it out and use lube sparingly. Add Clenzoil to a bore snake to clean the bores. Clenzoil hinge-pin jelly for the hinge pins. Ray’s Gun Wax to seal up and protect all metal and wood surfaces. If need be I add a touch of Chip McCormick Trigger Slick to any sear engagement surfaces.

I guess I'm old school or live in the past, but I still clean bores and the metal with Hoppe's #9. Then put a dab of Gunslick oil on my finger and hit the knuckle and hinge. I think it's the combination of both that take me back to my childhood, watching dad clean the guns, just good memories.
Before I put guns in the safe, I'll spray sheep's wool with G 96 and wipe down. Now that I'm out of G 96, like Ken, I'll spray my Outer's cloth with Rem oil and wipe. Bobby, Walmart has plenty of Rem oil, spray and liquid.

RIG on wear points and as a surface wipedown. Carb cleaner to clean plastic residue from bores

Eezox and a wool pad. Observed one of our noted members using this years ago at a show. Been using it since with great confidence.

Good point Dean, where has Robin been??

Extra Virgin Olive Oil with Basil and Garlic infusion.

wd -40 has been my gun cleaner for 40 years now...all guns look as good as the day I got them...charlie

I'm equal opportunity -- G-96, Rem-oil, Ballistol & Eezox. Hoppe's No. 9 for bore cleaning, though I don't like the new "Synthetic Blend" as much as the original. And a 3.75 ounce jar of Remington Hinge & High-Pressure Grease which came with my Remington Model 3200 Skeet Gun in the spring of 1977 and still has about 1/3 left.

I clean bores with #9, finish with Ballistol, Renaissance wax for exterior metal, internal mech.s with Ballistol, store bores with Ballistol wiped inside and pivots and sears with Rig grease. I carefully use Hoppe's oil on ejector/extractor shafts.

Years ago I sent a Single Trigger gun up to Dan at Miller single Trigger ,when I got the gun back ,Happy to say the trigger Worked Flawlessly ! But what I was the most pleased about was they wiped the gun down before shipping it back with the most Pleasing smelling oil ! It wasn't called whatever we had at home growing up but as soon as I put the gun to my cheek I was 12 years old again and Home on the Farm cleaning the guns after hunting with Dad's Beagle , I don't remember what that oil was called ! I called Dan right away and ask what kind of oil they used and he said " G 96 " ! So with that said I use G 96 on my Barrels and Action and then wipe a very small amount on my wood ! When I purchase a " New Parker " ,I always give the initial cleaning with Ballistol !

oil
 

I have used Rig for over 40 years on all parts of my guns including the bores after cleaning. I have never had any rust issues or have to worry about gun oil seeping into the wood.

These 3 for all shotguns

I have been liking this—

Well, I just ordered a can of Ballistol, so we'll see how it goes. Thank you all for your input!

same thing
 

I use the same combo. Although I do have a tin of Penn real grease I use on the joints on guns that get hunted.

Steve, unless you ordered the aerosol can of Ballistol you'll need to have an empty, and clean, spray bottle.

Now that’s funny!!!! Cleans your gun and seasons the mudbat at the same time. :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Jim, is the K Gun Glide schmutz made by the Kentucky Jelly folks?? :rotf::corn:

For many years I have used Pre-Serv Gun Oil. It is good for metal, wood and even leather. I live in a very humid coastal climate area and have never had any rust issues. I have wiped guns down with it, placed in my safe and two years later they are the same as the day I put them in the safe. Sorry to say I don’t think it is made anymore. It was manufactured by a company in Woodbury CT. Fortunately I purchased a good enough supply to last me for the rest of my life!
🙏😎🇺🇸

I figured I could just splash a little on a rag, etc but I’ll get one. Thx

Vaseline and 5W30

A spray trigger from an empty window cleaner bottle will fit on the male threads of the Ballistol can.

I like Bill use Preserve just found enough to last me I think also good stuff, why someone does not analyze the ingredients and start making it I do not know, Gary

Great, thanks!

I use Ballistol and Frog Lube

Just says made in USA
Krieghoff Int.Ottsville,PA 18942😛

used motor oil is as good as it gets but messey to use...
