Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your go-to CLP Help wanted

Recently I did a review of cold bluing products and in that review I included corrosion resistance but used only BC Barricade. I stated that I intend to do a review of a variety of gun-centric rust inhibitors. Im amassing (my wife says hoarding) quite a stock pile of CLP products focusing on the �P� aspects. To that end I want to make sure I have a comprehensive list of products gun owners might use to stave off rust on their firearms so Im coming to you for suggestions of which products I should secure for this evaluation. Ive scrubbed the store shelves of Gander and Cabelas and Bass Pro and Farm and Fleet and Fleet Farm as well as online outlets for rust inhibitors that cant easily be found. Id like to do a side by side evaluation of about 15 or 20 products and want to know what everybody uses to keep your gun rust free. I figure that by the time I buy the most common 15 or so that would cover the lion�s share of what the average guy uses.

Im focusing on manufactured/commercial brands and wont be evaluating home brews or gunsmith �secret recipes�. So please list em up and tell me that no evaluation would be complete without including brand �X�. I plan to post this request in a few different areas on the forum to attract as many suggestions as possible because some guys are hunters an others are only target shooters or only waterfowl hunt but don�t deer hunt so if you see it multiple times you need only reply in one thread. Thanks for your help.

The corrosion test at 6mmBR might give you some inspiration:

I'm using EEZ-OX right now, but am about out. May try DYNA-TEK GUN SHIELD.

Thanks for that.

I use a 50/50 mix of ATF and kerosene that is compatible with the Edds Red formula. I use Edds red to C and ATF/Kerosene for the L and P. I have also used a lot of bolistol

It has proven to ve very effective so far.

Dyna Gun Shield

Hard not to take a good look at that Eezox. Pretty impressive

My Montana is coated in Dyna Gun Shield and occasionally wiped down with EEZOX. I would like to see how DGS works in your comparison.

Based on posts and PM�s here and on other sites where I made the same request, I begun to generate a list of the rust inhibitors that I will secure for this evaluation. The product list thus far is. In no particular order

G96 CLP

Eezox gun care

M-Pro 7

Gun Slick Gun Seal Rust preventative

Breakfree CLP

Frog Lube

Ballistol

Birchwood Casey Barricade

Rem oil (with Moistureguard)

Rem oil (regular)

Shooters Choice Rust Prevent

Strike Hold

Viking tactics Rand CLP

Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner & Dry Lube

Clenzoil

WD-40 (blue and yellow can)

WD-40 specialist Corrosion inhibitor

Fluid Fill Rust and corrosion protection

MILTECH-1

Hoppe�s Lubricating oil (with weatherguard)

Hoppe�s MDL (Moisture Displacing Lubricant)

Hoppe�s Elite gun oil

3-In-One oil

Pennzoil synthetic oil

Im sure the list will grow. Additional suggestions welcomed

Time to break out the credit card. Based on web searches, the shipping on some of this stuff is nearly as high as the product itself. This may end up costing a small fortune but I will have a lifetime supply of gun care products when Im finished.

I just use "Rem oil" 90% of the time.

I use Rem Oil or M Pro 7...I've heard great things about both Gibbs Lubricant and Howes though...

Kroil

Eezox for me. I am confident it offers the best corrosion resistance. I wouldn't say it is the slickest lubricant though.

Some of the materials used in that test are intended for lubrication purposes & as such, are generally not formulated as rust inhibitors, especially automotive engine oils.

I've done a lot of industrial corrosion testing & there are lots of commercial materials available that are outstanding, but many are not available at retail guns stores to the general public, unfortunately.

Corrosion X

Agreed. Love the stuff.

I only use Prolix

Sperm oil....if you can find it.....and afford it.

Eezox

For the "P" I use a Rig Rag..

Corrosion X and Eezox have to be in the test.

Also, BreakFree CLP.
