I know we all (myself included) all like Kroil, but I find that it's too volatile for long term anti-corrosion use.

What do you wipe your guns down with to ensure that you never have a corrosion problem?

CLP
Break free flavored


Been using it since 1980 never an issue

Might be better cleaners or longer lasting lubes but my weapons have never rusted using it

So tell me about this fire clean. I use royal purple max film on the outside, Mobil1 on the inside.

I favor Ballistol. It's not let me down yet, and seems to stick around with greater effect then Breakfree CLP.

Once you apply the Fireclean, carbon just wipes right off with a paper towel. I literally use 10 drops to relube the rifle(if I do at all, doesn't really need it), and it is ready to rock and roll. Plus, it makes a rifle that has fired ~500 rds feel as smooth as one that has fired several thousand.

Check them out on Youtube- they have some videos posted demonstrating their product.

I lube and wipe down with Mobil 1.  Prior to that I lubed and wiped down with 3n1 oil.

I've had guns in cases for as long as 8 years in the attic.  I pulled them out, looked them over, and they looked as good as the day I put them in the cases.  I just wiped them down again and put them back in the cases.

I now only use Mil-Comm products, they aren't cheap but quality never is. It never made sense to me to put a cleaner in the same bottle as a lubricant. Most don't know but BreakFree makes a LP, some formula as CLP just without the cleaner.

I like Kroil and all the other products of Kano Labs, but Kroil is simply a penetrant. It might have a limited application in guns but it is not a good gun oil. Wow. I don't use 'one thing' these days, but I have sort of settled down to where I will use 'one thing' for each different type of firearm. For modern pistols and long guns, tactical type with aluminum and polymer parts, I use Hornady 'One-Shot' dry lube. It is a strong solvent for cleaning until the solvents evaporate, then it leaves behind a waxy film for lubrication and corrosion protection. For an actual AK-type, Ballistol is king. Ballistol is even more important with corrosive ammo - the water:Ballistol 10:1 emulsion washes out and neutralizes salts residues. Follow up with straight Ballistol as the CLP after the emulsion dries. I also have just re-discovered Eezox which really has some remarkable qualities.

I am currently using/trying out FrogLube CLP.  Breakfree CLP is what I used to use for many years.  No connection to either company, I just use some of their kit.
