Personal preference, I have an aversion to pads so that's a non starter. Balance? Most Parker's are described as balancing on the hinge pin. This means that when upside down typically 1/3 of the weight would be up and spread over 5x the width of the barrels.

New member and new to the forum. I've been using Hornady One Shot Cleaner and Lube. It goes wet and flashes off leaving a light dry film. I then lightly wipe any excess. I've never seen it migrate or run. I use it on all my firearms and reloading equipment. The other thing I use is Zerust VCI bags and barrel tubes. I have young kids so everything resides in safes in a basement. I have bluetooth hydrometers and a dehumidifier keeping things at 60-70 degrees and 40-50% humidity. I've used Zerust bags and tubes with no problems for 10 years on guns and anything metal. The bags and tubes have a 5 year life.

I just became a member. I guess it hasn't shown yet on my post badge. I joined the forum awhile ago, mostly because I spend most of my time learning.
