Thought it would be interesting to see what everyone uses to clean and lube their firearms... Personally I've been using Rubbing Alcohol to clean, and Mobil 1 V-Twin Synthetic to lube, been doing this for about 6yrs now..
The other week I bought an old rifle that wouldn't cycle and was just a mess of gunk after tearing it down, since I don't have good old Hoppes solvent I found that WD40 was my friend and cleaned everything up surprisingly well..
Rubbing alcohol does a decent job on well maintained guns but after buying this old neglected rifle I got to thinking I could use a real gun cleaner and wanted the consensus here to help me along...
what's your method of madness?
