I"ve used Eezox for over 30 years and it's as good as you can get for rust prevention in the humid NE summers and keeping semi-autos running in cold NE winters!

I"ve used Eezox for over 30 years and it's as good as you can get for rust prevention in the humid NE summers and keeping semi-autos running in cold NE winters! Corrosion X works about the same, only maybe a little bit better. If it is good enough for Phil out on the Alaska Pen., I take that as "good enough". I switched to it on his recommendation of it here on the Campfire, when I ran out of Eezox, and never looked back. Nothing wrong with Eezox tho. I've several bottles of C-X, enough probably to outlast me - stocked up, just in case.... They both work best applied to warm metal, allowed to dry, and 2nd or 3rd coats added. Blued, stainless, or parkerized, it's (they both) are good on all.

I don't know if this helps or not, and I readily claim that I have never hunted in anything like 10*F or less. Years ago when Break Free CLP came on the market, I guess about the mid 1970s(?), I remember one of the selling points was that it was good at very low temperatures. I don't remember what that was, now, but it could easily be googled. It doesn't seem to be as popular as it once was, but I've been using it for years and I am very satisfied with it. Works fantastic on black powder guns particularly to prevent corrosion. Whatever you decide to try, clean it very good, wipe it down with a very thin coat of your selected lube, bag it and put it in a super cold freezer for a couple of days. Take it out and see what 'ya got. Just my non-expert advice. Additionally, I have heard very good reports on Hornady One Shot cleaner/lube as well.

Don't have cause to clean firing pins very often, but I do lube them when I do. Graphite or molybdemun dysulfide, depending on how much coffee I had in the morning.
I am..........disturbed.

A very good but almost completely forgotten corrosion preventer/lube is wax. A light coat of Johnson'e Paste Wax, well buffed in, makes gun parts waterproof and slick.
I'm also a Corrosion X fan.

Careful, I had a Rem 700 do this several years ago and made the mistake of mentioning it on here. Never seen so much butthurt in my life.

I was taught to keep oil off the firing pin, one because of freezing, two because of dirt accumulation, clinging to the oil. Haven't had an issue in 60 years of hunting, 20 below freezing or 110 degree weather.

Never had any problems with Break-Free. I do keep Eezox around just in case.

I'd spray it with carb cleaner to completely degrease (I assume that was what "hypersonic cleaning" did?) and either run it dry or dry graphite lube it. I have yet to find any 'low temp' gun oil that works when it is -20F or colder. Degreased and dry graphite lubed has worked for me down to -40F without issue. I had a number of the dreaded 'clicks' in extreme weather before going to dry graphite.
Complicated actions with lots of moving parts like autos and lever guns need degreased too but I wouldn't run them dry and without graphite. Simple bolts from a bolt gun generally are fine dry though.
