arko Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 As the title says, people use certain things for certain jobs. Does that also apply to guns?.. for example, : do you require certain gun oils for shotguns? Do you use specific Bore Cleaner for shotguns etc? Would I be putting my gun at risk from damage if I used the wrong type? If not, what Brands, Makes and types would you all recommend? Is there a major brand that everyone goes for? And do I have to use any particular cleaning kits (rods, mops, spirals etc.) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filzee Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I use what ever cleaning things my local gun shop has in at the time. Don't over oil thats a big thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) Don't over oil thats a big thing. +1 on not over oiling. Also clean off old oil and grease (taking the dirt and grit with it) before applying a very little clean fresh oil/grease. Parker Hale make some well respected products and I have used them for 40 years. I use Young's 303 as a bore cleaner, Express oil as a lubricating oil and Rangoon oil as a preservative oil (for metals). A (very) little smear of a general purpose (e.g. Halfords smallest available container) grease on the hinge pin etc., and about once a year a rub over the woodwork with Phillips walnut oil. These are just examples - and there are many different brands, probably all much as good as any other Edited November 30, 2013 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arko Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 So basically its down to everyones own preference? For example I could put Morrisons own brand 10W-40 engine oil in my Astra and my mate will put in Castrol Magnatec in his same Astra but costs 5 times as much. Has anybody else any recommendations?
