Reliable Gun Oils for Everyday Shooters

[Alan]

What's your favorite gun oil for regular use? I'm on the hunt for something that not only lubricates well but also protects against corrosion. Would love to hear what works well for you!

Protective oils: Kroil or Eezox Bore Cleaning: BoreTech Eliminator for copper then ThorroFlush & ThorroClean for Carbon

20Wt. Castrol synthetic for all my protective needs, Dry moly spray for stuff that is exposed to burned powder like blow back 22s and gas pipe ARs. the Castrol NEVER turns to shellac like many other lubes, even after a decade and for the price of a bottle, I can get a quart. Benchwood Casey used to have a product called "Sheath" for guns going into long storage. I can swear by it! it saved several of my guns after an undetected water leak!

I've been using Eezox for a couple of years now and find it better than anything else I've used in the past several decades, and that's been quite a number of different products.

With or without engine detergents?

Without. I use a mix of Marvel Miracle Oil and transmission fluid for bore cleaner, sometimes just straight kerosene, depending on the ammo. fortunately or unfortunately, all the corrosive junk is gone.
