Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire results of gun care product evaluation

Ive spent my adult life in the design engineering field desiging diagnostic imaging devices. Ive got a few patents and I am a curious sort that enjoys long walks on the beach trying to figure out how to improve it.

Wow, I feel like I just studied for and aced the MCAT!

I've been using Hornady One Shot since it came out and couldn't be happier.

Thanks for the validation; seriously cool work!

And the winner is?

You if you are taking good care of your guns.

DIY, Great job. Thanks for taking the time to do something both useful and helpful. I too have been using the Hornaday lately, but some of your findings really flew in the face of what I thought I knew.

Wow, impressive study.

Thanks for the great info.

Might want to work on a sense of humor the next time around and post results.

I'm long on actual field results.

Was not going for humor. Just calling a spade a spade. I am not responsible for knee jerk injuries or bruised egos. Im going with first hand results but if you are having good results with your products, your doing well. You would have read that had you actually read the results or had somey read them to you. I included lots of pictures for those not strong with the written word.

Awesome test and definitely making me look at rem oil differently! Thank you DIY for your time and effort to educate us that have to rely on who spends the most money feeding us crap in commercials about how great their products are!

DIYguy, what do you use on your guns?

Really interesting and useful. Have to admit, while I've used One Shot for reloading I've never considered it for the firearms themselves.

Thanks for the effort.

dude, I can't argue with the handle you chose

DIYguy pretty well sums it up!

okay so bottom line what are you gonna be using on your firearms for cleaning, lubing and corrosion resistance?

damnit Scott, those long walks on the beach aren't used for coming up with material for his stand up routine!

we all serve a different purpose, engineers fill one role, and we got you and deflave to crack us the F up!

I'm going to have to buy a couple cans of One-Shot. Tomorrow.

Thanks, DIY. That was a lot of work, and I appreciate it. In fact, I'm going to save it to hard drive.

And I notice you're a fairly new member and may not be familiar with Steelhead's whimsical ways. He's really a sweetheart, but if someone dangles a chain in front of him, he will pull it. He's funny that way.

Don't think that's the One Shot you're looking for. Interesting study I reckon. Been messing with Safari Charlie lately.

Stainless steel wins again

Oh I know of him on every site I visit even if he is not the same person. I can spot em a mile away but usually I detect them by the faint smell of vingar and water akin to something one would use on a Summer's Eve. Not to worry, I can deal with that sort in short order.

Prior to this, I was like so many here drifting from one product to another on the promises of slick sales pitches. The scales have been lifted from my eyes. I have seen the light. This was not entirely about firearms and equally about tools and archery gear and medical devices shipping over seas in containers as part of my real job. The WD - 40 specialist impresses me for non-firearms applications. The One Shot will be getting more firearms usage in my stable of firearms.

DIY:

Just spritz the One-Shot on the firearm, or spray it on a rag first?

Thank you for your effort and your report. I have only skimmed it so far, but will study it in more detail as time allows.

Nice job DIY. I'm gonna have to rethink some of the products I've been using. I appreciate the effort.
