I clean with Hoppes and lube with Mili-Tec. Seems to work for me. Simp

I actually use non-chlorinated brake cleaner when I do my big cleaning (meaning all my guns in one day). A few on my retired military buddies recommended this method and I find it works great! Cheaper than "gun cleaner". Just need to lube the hell out of it after as it really dries the guns out.

To Clean I use M-Pro7 a odorless enviromentaly friendly cleaner, and I lube with Militec.

I use Shooter Choice on the barrels of all my pistols and Rem Oil to clean with. I lubricate with nonaerosol CLP Breakfree. I use Sweets 7.62 on my nonchromed lined Bushmaster barrel.

I just recently started using M-Pro7 to clean...I like it alot so far (odorless) I alway lube with militech or FP-10..

Hoppes and gun scrubber.

Hoppes No. 9 for the bore, O'Riely house brand brake parts cleaner ($2 a can) for for everything else, lube with Dupont Teflon Multi-use Dry Film Lube ($5 a can a Lowe's, haven't found it anywhere else yet). Seems as slick as Tetra grease and since it is dry it stays put in Houston's heat.

I shoot "dirty ammo" - mostly reloads using Unique and Wolf, this dry film lube doesn't seem to form the grimey "mud" I used to get with Break-Free or Tetra.

Shooter's Choice and Break Free CLP, then RemOil and ProLong Oil for the rest.

how is tetra for cleaning?

I just checked, the bottle I bought is tetra....will this be ok for my Custom II....I have that black oxide finish and don't want to wear it any faster than it will naturally.

I clean and lubricate with Firepower FP-10. Works awsome.
Even Kimber recommend it.

Another vote for MPro-7 to clean with... lude with FP10

Butches Bore Shine or Shooters Choice. Sinclair international has some great cleaning products.

+1 on the Brake Cleaner - for about $3 a can, you just can't beat it. The non chlorine green can is less nasty (and won't eat plastic). Lube with Militec, and wipe down the outside with BreakFree.

Hoppe's #9 to clean bores...Mil-comm MC-25 cleaner for the rest when needed.Mil-comm TW-25B and MC-2500 to lube.:rock:

 

[dubcross]

Whatever is handy -

Brake Cleaner works good - Carb Cleaner works better but will melt some plastics - Hoppe's works good too. Any oil that is handy, I've even used 60W Motorcycle oil. My new favorite is "Get-Off Gun Cleaner" which leaves a light oil residue on my gun, I like that. Here's a pic of CCW pistol (just for fun) If I downloaded it right?

 

[SAWBONES]

Cleaning: M-Pro 7, gel and liquid. Nothing else needed except of course cotton patches, brass jag, bronze and nylon (old toothbrush) brushes, Q-Tips, paper towels.

Lube: FP-10. It doesn't clean very well, but it's an excellent lubricant.
It could be used for cleaning too, like any CLP, if you're not particular, and certainly cleans quite well enough for functional purposes.

Ed's Red (homemade) and brake cleaner.

Break Free CLP for every purpose and every gun .

My steps usually go:
1. After every shooting session I use a nylon brush followed by patches soaked with hoppe's #9. (Every once in a while I will dip a brass brush in Hoppe's #9 and run it through the bore a couple times to knock out deposits)
2. I lightly lube the bore using a patch soaked in CorrosionX, followed by a dry patch to remove excess oil and fuzz from the bore.
3. Clean the rest of the gun using CorrosionX, leaving CorrosionX on contact areas for lubrication.

I have a bottle of copper solvent, I haven't found the correct frequency to use it though.

I like CorrosionX a lot, but I've been thinking about switching to Teflon bearing grease to lubricate the action and only lubracating the ramp/chamber with CorrosionX. What are your favorite teflon greases?
