Kano Kroil Penetrating Oil and Bore Cleaning Solvent has been the gold standard.
here's a formula that works equally well ... very easy/cheap to mix.
mix 50% acetone and 50% automatic transmission fluid.
practical machinist claim this mixture out performs kroil

mix up in a pint glass jar, then dispense in smaller container.
plastic oil bottle with retracting tube works great.
acetone penetrates tightest joints, carrying automatic transmission fluid with it.
So would this be a cleaner, but not a lubricant?
I still use red USGI ( lubriplate) in the Mini 14, Garand, and pistol slides and revolver basepins.

This^^^^^^! Only thing I'll add to that is cleaning my BP guns. Right after shooting they get sprayed down with windex. Once home the hot soapy water drill, but the windex prior makes it alot easier. I also do the same with the windex to any gun that I may have shot corrosive ammo through.
