What gun cleaning supplies do you use?

I’m curious what others use. There is so much on the market today from this to that, blah, blah…

I still use Hoppes solvent and oil, brush and pads. It’s how I was taught as a kid and its still what I use to this day. Although I do have a Hoppes boresnake in .22 which is the most modern cleaning thing I have.

What’s ya’lls method and product of choice?

People clean their guns?

CLP all the things.

I use the end of my shirt and tobacco juice. Works like a champ every time. :metal:

Hoppes #9 solvent and oil. CLP. I have some old linens I cut up for patches.

Shooter Lube solvent is pretty impressive. I use it with Bore Swabs to clean and my life is much easier as a result. After cleaning, it’s usually just a CLP wipe down all over and a little Shooter Lube oil on the major contact points (slides, bolts, etc).

Hoppes solvent and oil usually. I have clp and like it as much. Really like the needle oiler i got with hoppes for some things. Patches or old shirts.

I thought carbon was a lubricant

I too use Hoppes products. Not because they are tested to work the best, but because it’s what I grew up using when first learning how to properly take care of firearms. Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory, and I still have awesome memories learning from my father.

DITTO!!!

I love the smell of Hoppes. It also brings back memories and yes, dad said use this to clean, then use this to oil. So it’s the only thing I know.

Recently I see all kinds of products and its all foreign to me. Thats what got me wondering what the majority of people use nowadays?

There was a link here to some AR School guy about mixing Mobil1 grease and oil to a honey like consistency. I can’t find it on here or youtube anymore. I’d like to try it.

Pure Alabama talk right there.

To be from California you sure got some southern raising in you from somewhere.

Well its either that or WD-40 :+1:

Love the smell of hoppes. Brings back childhood memories just thinking about it :smiley:.

It’s like cologne.

I’ve started using this stuff. Works great

Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber Foaming Gel

Small parts I put in a sonic cleaner. I still use Hoppes for a lot as well.

I actually always see a foaming cleaner at Walmart when I go. I’ve wondered if a foaming cleaner sprayed them wiped down in a receiver would be faster/easier, etc.

But I’m loaded up on Hoppes and not needing any cleaning supplies right now. Plus I’m cheap and use that money saved on PSA Daily Deals. :rofl:

I actually have several packs of some cleaners and oils that are NRA branded, not sure exactly what they are as I haven’t gotten to them yet. Loads of patches we scored at the SHOT show back in the day and several OTIS kits. Again, haven’t gotten to them yet.

Still huffing my Hoppes until it’s gone :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Video is over an hour long. I watched the entire thing.

P.S. Hoppes

Hoppe’s #9 solvent, Ballistol, sewing machine oil…
