Anybody use All-In-One cleaner/lubricants on revolvers?

BRAKE FREE .

Always liked Tetragun stuff until recently. Used the Tetra Gun white grease on a couple of semi-automatic's slide. After about a week found them hard to work the action.

Going back to Rem oil for lubrication.

MPro7 cleaner and any good oil, with dry Teflon in the hot spots. The thing about MPro7 cleaner is it's more effective and quicker with repeated use. Here's a 4" 629 I had:

I recently picked up some All-In-One Cleaner/Lubricants for one of my semi-autos. Does anyone out there use these types of products when cleaning your revolvers?

For the most part, I use Hoppes No. 9 solvent and Break Free CLP for lube. On newer revolvers with blue finish, I use Break Free CLP exclusively because of some recent posts recommending that Hoppes No. 9 not be used on the newer blue finish from S&W. Sort of pathetic that a classic staple of the gun room cannot be used on the "Classic Series" of revolver.

I pre-soak, scrub and swab with M-Pro 7. Then I heat and swab entirety of the gun with Froglube. Re-heat and wipe.

I've been using basically Break Free for around 25-30 years and have had no problems. I do use Hoppe's #9 on any I shoot lead bullets in as it cleans the bore and chambers quicker and cleaner. A silicone rag for wiping the guns down is the last step before I put them back in the safe.

I use Breakfree CLP to clean all of my firearms. I never have to worry or wonder if it's going to damage a guns finish. Occasionally I will use some Hoppes #9 to clean up some heavy fouling.

I've been using G96 Gun Treatment for awhile and it seems to work well. (smells great too ) For stubborn deposits I'll also sometimes use Gun Venom cleaner first ....it's made by Hoppe's but doesn't smell like #9...works well

Been using Corrosion X for years. For a new firearm I apply it liberally inside and out and let it set a day or two then remove the excess. After that most fouling just wipes right off whether a pistol or revolver. On used guns I also had good results using it as a cleaner and it seems to do well as a lubricant.

Thanks to all of you!!!! This is such awesome information for a new guy with his first revolver! Thanks to all of you as I will have the cleanest 66 on the front range of CO!!!!

 

[breakerofwind]

At the moment I use EEZOX on nearly all my firearms; seems to work well enough.

 

[ginzo]

I'm not gettin' it? Hoppe's is like perfume to me.

For stubborn deposits I'll also sometimes use Gun Venom cleaner first ....it's made by Hoppe's but doesn't smell like #9...works well

I always used to use Hoppe's #9 for cleaning and some light oil and gun grease for lube. More recently I started using Rem Oil for cleaning, lubricating and protecting. It's not just oil, like I used to think. I like to clean my guns in the house now that I'm shooting more, and the Hoppe's smell was too strong. I was happy with Rem Oil but didn't like how it dried out right away. I know it's teflon and still protects, but I just like the gun to stay oiled. I tried Ballistol and it's plenty oily, but I don't like the smell. So I tried Break Free and have been using it ever since. It's good and oily and seems to work as well as anything else and has even less odor than Rem Oil, which wasn't as bad as Hoppe's or Ballistol. I like the idea of using one product to clean, lube and protect. Simple and effective.

I only ever use FP-10 on my guns. Somtimes sold as Firepower 10, it is pretty much a CLP type product, and it is amazing. I shoot my classic blued guns heavily, and they look new with this stuff. Put a little around the forcing cone and muzzle before you shoot, and you can wipe 95% of the goop off with a towel right there at the range. Makes gun cleaning a lot faster later.

 

[Smith357]

Been using Ed's Red for may years and a cleaner lube, I've tried a bunch of others, they just cost ten times more than ER and don't work any better. On slide rails, bolt lugs, and hinge pins I use a grease to prevent galling.

I had forgotten
S&W used to sell some MPro7 products under a S&W label. That should attest to something...

I also use CLP, Tetra, Eezox on occasion but MPro7 stuff complemented by dry Teflon are what I use regularly.

 

[Louchia]

If you have a new S&W, be sure to read the manual. Some warn not to use ammonia base cleaners. They may ruin the finish. In that case any CLP will be a good choice, or Hoppes Elite cleaner or MPro 7 to name a few.

 

[ridgewalker]

I have used many different brand cleaning products but for the last couple years I have settled on the M Pro 7 products. I use the M Pro 7 Gun Cleaner and the M Pro 7 Oil for every cleaning. I have also used the M Pro 7 Gel and M Pro 7 Copper Cleaner with good results. I have found that the M Pro 7 products do condition the metal and make subsequent cleanings easier as the company claims.
I do not work for the company and have never received any free products from them but if they want to send me a case of products I would gladly accept.

Another vote for Ballistol. No particular technical reason....I just tried it and liked it. Even the smell, which I didn't like at first, is growing on me.

 

[S&W SS Revolvers]

Lots of great info here. Rejex available via Aircraft Spruce is what I am going to try "waxing" the 686-3 before the next shooting session. It was developed to remove exhaust stains from gasoline and jet fueled aircraft. I will let you know if it helps cleaning after shooting...

The only recommendation I have beyond what our experts offer is; let the parts you want to clean soak in the cleaner you use. Last weekend we put 150 rds. each through our 686-3 and 637PC. I soaked the parts and barrels , came upstairs , ate dinner and when I went back down an hour later or so the crud came off very easy.

Proper chemical cleaning beats abrasive cleaning...

 

[bananaman]

I have specific use chemicals, but primarily use CLP, and Gunzilla. They say you can drink G.Z. but it doesn't taste too good! (according to a company representative) Bob

 

[mule69]

Even though I love the aroma of Hoppe's I have been using G98 Complete Gun Treatment and find that it works quite well.

 

[GtrPlyr]

I use a lead-remover cloth, followed up with Break Free CLP on my SS 686 no dash and my SS Ruger Single Six revolvers.

Those cloths work wonders for removing the grunge and the Break Free CLP does the rest of the work and it is a good lube, in its own right.

I use Break Free CLP on all my guns as an "all-in-one" solution.
