Someone told me I clean my handguns weird. He uses hoppes 9 and that is is.
He laughed at this process:
Field stripping out the whole pistol
Wetting every piece in Mpro7 gun cleaner
Squirt some Mpro7 bore gel into the barrel
Brush it with a BRASS brush.
Scrub off all of the dirty areas of the rest of the gun with a toothbrush looking thing with stiffer bristles.
Blast away all of the Mpro7 and lifted carbon with break cleaner
Blast it down the bore as well to remove all of that crap
Inspect the parts and repeat until im satisfied.
Then I oil it with whatever I feel like. Usually 75% 5w30 and 25% ATF. Sometimes gun oil when I don't want to smell it. I am still looking for something I like better than this mixture.
Grease the areas that will have the most friction. Like rails on a sig or a bolt carrier on an AR.
So Ive got it down pretty good to something efficient and something that works well. I think its pretty good.
What do yall do? and Do yall oil your bores?
