I love every year when new lubricating potions hit the market. I read an article written by the editor of handgunner magazine a few years ago and it said the best oil you can use is cheap free of available. I use whatever oil i can find on m guns and i grease them with wheel bearing grease. Think about it. How many of us have our fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers guns? They still work fine right? So they used 3N1 oil wd40 motor oil ect. We dont need to reinvent the wheel. round wheels are fine

I prefer GunSlick for lubrication of moving parts myself, after years of using nothing more than fp10 with great success on a variety of guns over the years. On the M1a's, I use a heavier grease and not the Gunslick, yet the mini30 gets the gunslick and it runs great on it.

They didn't boil them in ultrasonic cleaners either. My personal opinion is that some people take gun cleaning to extremes. KISS

I'm with ya guys, if Dad came back from the grave and walked in on me humped over a workbench, heating a 1911 with a hairdryer and smearing spearmint smelling goo on with a toothbrush, I can imagine his face.

He would say "puppy, give me the singer sewing machine oil and throw that foo foo in the garbage" then if I told him what I paid he would grab his chest.....

Like I said......Mobil 1 and Lubriplate
Take it apart, wipe it down, brush the barrel grooves, pull a rag through, grease/oil as needed, re-assemble, utilize.
Inspect parts for wear/cracks/chips during process, ya gotta look at 'em anyway.

I have to admit that I am thinking about an ultrasonic cleaner for real detail cleaning. Intrigued is a better word.

OTOH, Froggy lube keeps wifey happy. Smells good and if you aren't using her oven to "cure" your guns, she don't care!
