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

Either or. It comes with a straw tube so you can pinpoint the spray or wide mist or spray a rag and wipe on. I sprayed the plates and just used a paper towel to wipe off for the corrosion evaluaion.

Thanks much. Will give it a go.

Over the past 25+ years, I've never found anything that could hold up to the NE extremes as well as Eezox but, that being said, I think it's time to give Frog Lube a serious look. I like the fact that, on top of being slick as owl-sheet top notch at preventing rust, it won't harm synthetics and is non-toxic. Those qualities make it a very well-rounded option and I want to give you a big THANK YOU for taking the time to highlight the pros/cons of all those products.

Thanks for all that work. I will change what I use now too.
Well done.

Outstanding approach and data. Thanks for this.

I am shocked at how Break Free came out and also by just how many products are on the market these days. I've been too secluded out here in Japan.

Thank you for your time and patience with this detailed study, looking forward to what else you might have for us in the near future.

Anyway this can become a sticky?

Well I did also do ths side by side evaluation of gun produccts a while back.

a good read--and it had to be a lot of work for you...

this study surely took a great deal of time as well.

studies i've seen in the past would almost always rate eezox and breakfree rather high on the list, so was surprised by your findings.



thank you for all of your efforts, and taking the time to post them.

(have your other studies included Outers gun oil, which they claim is "polarized", so that it "bonds" to the metal?)

also, for clarification--on the corrosion protection chart where one of the hoppes products did well, which "Hoppes gun oil" do you mean? would guess it must not be the "Elite" product, as i thought i had noticed where that rated lower on your corrosion chart.

do you refer to the ordinary clear oil that i recall would come in the orange colored bottle (which had no odor)--your graph shows a strong odor, so am assuming it must be a hoppes i'm not familiar with?) would like to know, as your chart shows that particular hoppes product as rating quite high in the corrosion tests...

Been using eezox and rust prevent for years, looks like I need to add frog lube to the cleaning box.

Many Thanks for all the work and informative testing DIYguy.

You're right. It appears that Hornady has multiple products with that name.

I have not evaluated Outers gun products.

It's amazing to me how one person could spend this much of their time and publish it free for the common good of others, and somebody's first thought is to make fun of it.

I guess I need to work on my sense of humor also. Thanks again for your efforts, I have several of your posts saved.

Its the interweb, dont sweat it. There are very draining people in all walks of life. Tune them out and extend them pitty. Its the best you can do for them.

And Tetra Gun products. They make a synthetic general spray lube, carbon blast spray, liquid form lube, and some barrel solvents/copper remover.

FWIW, Tetra Gun or Eez Ox have worked the best to keep semi-auto shotguns running smooth and reliable on late-season MT, ND, and Northern MN upland game.

I always enjoy reading stuff that uses the scientific method, but I am not sure anyone here is willing to try to duplicate your results. I will take your study as is <GRIN>.

Have you ever tested Renaissance Wax?

Very interesting. So far I see the Hornady One Shot at the top for both lubrication and corrosion resistance.

No. In fact I have never tested anything. This was only a side by side comparison. I used floor paste wax but not Renaissance wax.

I have edited the initial post with the following.

Thanks for taking the time do do this and post the results. Any idea how much freezing temps might effect said products?
