FYI, some guy on ShotgunWorld did an extensive study on lubricants/protectants for firearms. Draw your own conclusions.

I've been very pleased with Eezox for certain gun parts such as ejectors and trigger parts now, for several years. Hinge pins and knuckles get Lubriplate, sparingly. Clenzoil is working very well for me as a wipe down on the exterior, and (supposedly) won't harm the wood. RIG will always be my go to for long term bore protection. Old formula Hoppes #9 as a bore solvent.

CLP is a good general purpose lubricant. In some modern semi-auto guns, synthetic engine oils such as Mobil 1 can actually work well. For some components, a light coat of of grease can help, as long as it is not a place that catches too much gunk.
For break over shotguns, I put grease on the hinge pin and fore end latch. I also spray some CLP on the locking lug for the barrel, and the ejectors or extractor. For a bolt action rifle, a light coat of CLP on all the mechanical bits should work well enough. On handguns, I like to grease the slide rails of semi auto, and the locking bolts of revolvers, and put oil everywhere else. |

G 96 easy to use and does not hurt stock finish.

Nothing quite like Sperm Whale Oil. It worked then...it works now.
