I'm not a big fan of 'one product fits all' stuff. I prefer to clean with a cleaner, and lubricate with a good oil or grease as appropriate.

Great for breaking rusted and seized parts loose, PB is a penetrating oil, not a cleaner. I think there are far better lubricants. :?

Yep, and while PB works great for what it is designed for, it stinks to high heaven :shock:

 

I won't use WD or PB on my guns, they're penetrants not lubricants. They're designed to get into small clearances and evaporate, usually leaving some nasty residue. Use some Rem-Oil, CLP, or other lubricant that is designed specifically to lubricate gun, not loosen rusty screws :lol:

 

I use Remoil or teflon grease to lube action parts depending on the gun. I do wipe down the exterior metal with wd40 and have never had a problem with bluing. Some of these guns are over 70 years old and have been wiped down since wd40 came out.

 

Hi:

I have used both of these products for years on my guns and have not had any problems. PB Blaster is a great penetrating oil so why would it not also great to penetrate under and through fouling?

Gun cleaning is not a difficult thing to do. Kerosene, vasoline and ATF could do all that is needed in the gun cleaning drill. I have seen it done since I was a kid. Anybody here ever hear of Mouse Milk?

You could use it for cleaning, but what would you use it on really? I wouldn't want it for a bore cleaner, but maybe on a rag it'd be good for cleaning up dust and soot on various parts. Considering that bluing is pretty much rust, I'd be a little hesitant using something that is designed to loosen/soften rust :wink: Also, it may displace other lubes that you put on afterwards. I'm not saying that it won't work, I'd just be a little cautious in what I used it on. In a pinch gasoline can be used to clean parts, but it doesn't mean I'm going to drain the specialty degreaser out of the parts washer and refill it with gasoline :lol: Although both can do the job, there are possible consequences when the wrong stuff is used. I might use some WD for chasing water out of a gun if I used it in the rain though :?

 

I have used Slip 2000 on all of my firearms including muzzle loaders for several years. Virtually no odor. Does the job.

Allright, I'll bite......What's "mouse milk"?

Some solvents will remove bluing......mostly the solvents that are aggressive on copper fouling (ammonia content?). I've lost some bluing on my deer rifle's muzzle from it.

Only time I use a wd-40 type oil on a gun is after it's been in a soaker and has to be dried out. I'll spray it in to help chase the water out. After drying, I clean it off with a solvent, then recoat with breakfree for preservation.

 

I've heard of "Moose Milk" for muzzle loaders. For exterior use on my guns I use RIG on a lambswool pad. I haven't had a bit of rust on any of my guns since using it. I like the Rem. dry oil for moveing parts.

I tried some one time... but it was really hard to get. My fingers are big and the mouse just got ticked off.

 

W D is a very poor rust prevenitive good for chasing water out but your gun will rust to death if you count on it .Clean your gun with Hoppes no 9 or outers bore cleaner they work as good as any thing . After your done use rem oil outers or hoppes gun oil the only non gun oil that I have used that works better than the above brands is Marvel mystery oil this stuff works really well .lubes and protects like nothing else usually available at auto parts store not gun stores but the stuff really works well

 

brake cleaner to flush the gunk then corrosion-x to lube & protect. best stuff i've ever used.
