I buy the lowest priced mineral spirits I can find. I scrub the parts in mineral spirits, then dip them in a mixture of about 75% mineral spirits and 25% Mobile One motor oil. I let them dry. They come out clean with a nice even film of oil on them.

Slip 2000, 725 Gun Cleaner/Degreaser? This one is a 'no-brainer'. You're talking about real good stuff! I have a bottle of it sitting, here, on my desk as I type. Personally I like Slip 2000 gun cleaning products better than I like Break-Free CLP (Which I also use.) Just remember that after cleaning with 725 you'll still need to lubricate your gun(s) with something else like Slip 2000, EWL lubricant. (I've got EWL 30 sitting on my desk right now, too!)

+1 on mineral spirits, only I splurge, and buy the low odor stuff.

I think it’s just water based degreaser.
Simple Green or engine degreaser from an auto parts store would probably be as good or better. After seeing some 4 ball wear scar testing on their lubes I don’t have any faith in any of their products anymore. |

The 725 is good stuff. Last I used it, it works great but it will strip everything off and give you a bare part void of any oil so make sure at treat appropriately.

Non-chlorinated brake cleaner followed by Mobil 1 10-30 for me on my AR's & G17. Hoppes & synthetic grease on my M1a.

From another thread here:
Quoted: Mobil 1, when tested to ASTM D4172 yields a wear scar approximately 18% larger than G96 and Breakfree, and a good deal worse than Royal CLP. Further, Mobil 1 does not pass the humidity corrosion test. |
