best oil/grease

Max H · 13-03-2019 01:19PM #1

Hi, looking for recommendations for best oil/grease to use to clean/maintain a 12 gauge o/u shotgun. Thanks

Oil wise I like Brunox but I've also used Beretta spray oil and Hoppes No.9 spray oil too.

Grease..I use a little tub of Brian Enos 'Slide Glide' I bought about 5 years ago. You can also get some Hoppes tubes of grease or the Bisley tubs of it.

Don't know how fussy you are but the best thing I found for cleaning out plastic wad fouling in the barrel was some Hoppes Elite spray and a Parker Hale brush,much more dense than normal brushes..it's like a Brillo pad, cleans it out no bother.

Drop of WD 40. As good as any on a break action the repeaters prob need something finer .

Brunox for cleaning. Napier grease for the locking block etc. Use a mixture of 0w30 and gun oil for a general coat on the action and barrels

A spray of brunox down the barrels. Use a bore snake and then clean the moving parts and lube them with this grease.

You don't need a specialised gun grease. This stuff is keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents corrosion. It's also resistant to high temperatures and pressures.

I remember that one from year's ago. It's the FN/Browning branded general purpose gun lubrication and cleaning oil. The name Legia refers to a stream in the city of Liege where it flows into the Meuse. FN/Browning's home place is the city of Liege.

Used brunox for the barrells but picked up some 3 in 1 a while back in a garage and remembered my Dad used it have to say it does the trick.

Are people using this as a light lubrication on semi auto parts?

A word of warning about using grease on guns. If any dirt/grit mixes with the grease it will start grinding away at your moving parts like coarse lapping compound. Light oil is best.

None..

Let em rust and get a new one every few years.
