I have been using Ed's Red on all my firearms since I found it on the old FIDO net gun echo back in the 80s. I also use it for cleaning engine parts and in place of penetrating oils. At under $15 per gallon why not?

Ed's Red' Bore Cleaner

+1 for Ed's Red. The stuff is a miracle. Best bore cleaner ever.

I'm not very particular about these things.

Hoppe's No. 9? Is that stuff still being made? I know it has
been around nearly 50 years-maybe longer.

C-Phil is dating himself w/ that one.

 

[lonejacklarry]

According to the Hoppe's web site, No. 9 has been around
since 1903. Do you remember when it was introduced, Phil?

Actually, I switched from English Leather to Hoppe's No.9 in the 70's.

Not sure what the point is in posting that photo since you actually have to USE the product, and well, lets be honest here... I've seen the photos of your rifle...

It's sort of like my wine inventory.... for dinner guests. I don't touch the stuff.

WD40 was developed as a wire dryer. It displaces water on spark plug wires. In time, it will dry to a tacky varnish. Occasionally, I get a break open gun that won't open easily that was lubed with WD40. Break-free is water soluble and not good for rust prevention.
Ezzox and Remoil are both synthetics that are good lubes with Ezzox
very good as a rust prevetative. Break-free can actually alter the DA
timing on revolvers like a D,E, or I frame Colt.

How would CLP alter the mechanical timing on a wheel gun? Can you expound on that? I'm curious!

Also, from CLP's web site:

When the United States Military issued PD-48, a purchase description of properties for a single, multi-purpose product to maintain their weaponry, it became known as the "impossible specification" because of its severe requirements. The first product to meet the challenge - Break-Free CLP.

Break-Free's flagship product, CLP is a unique formulation of synthetic oils and individual proprietary ingredients which synergize in combination to do three important tasks simultaneously: Effectively Clean, Lubricate and Protect metal. After years of rigorous testing, CLP actually exceeded the Military's requirements and was approved as a product to meet MIL-L-63460, a new specification. Break-Free CLP is now recognized around the world as the standard by which maximum metal performance and protection is ensured.

* Penetrates and spreads along metal surfaces into every pit and crevice to undercut contamination and lift residue away where it can be removed.
* Long-lasting lubricating film dramatically reduces adhesion of sand, grit or other abrasives which cause wear and failure.
* Corrosion inhibitors prevent the formation of rust while Break-Free's unique boundary film protects metal surfaces from moisture and other contaminants.
* Specially formulated synthetic oils won't lose viscosity, dry out or stiffen up in extreme environments - such as cold, heat, dust, dirt, humidity and even salt air - keeping equipment in ready condition for months at a time.
