Product Summary
ProTec GUNoil and BOREcleaner Pump Sprays

ProTec Pump Sprays
Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Pump spray is handy for Solvent.
•  Lids can be removed for bulk application.
•  Both products work well.
•  Metal containers won't break in your cleaning box.
Cons  •  I don't like spraying the oil.
The Bottom Line - These are fine products which perform well. I like the pump for the solvent, but not the oil -- I prefer a more traditional package which allows application by the drop, though the spray works fine for oiling up patches. Try ProTec's syringes for more precise application.

 
Product Description
•  Gun oil and Nitro-Solvent bore cleaner packaged in metal pump spray bottles.
•  Both feature ProTec's Anti-Friction Metal Treatment.
•  BOREcleaner is meant for powder, copper, brass, and lead fouling - and black powder.
 
 
Guide Review

Pump Spray ProTection
ProTec has been around for over twenty years, which speaks well of their staying power -- they're no flash-in-the-pan company.

At this time, I don't have the time nor the means to comprehensively test lubricity -- I must go by my own experience. I first tried GUNoil in cleaning black powder guns, and it did well preventing corrosion. Lubricity was good, and I had no rust problems. ProTec GUNoil is a good lube and protectant. I didn't find time to test the claims of more velocity and less heat, but it stands to reason that a good lube, properly applied, will do so.

ProTec BOREcleaner worked well cleaning my guns, and the pump spray is great. It's a good grade nitro solvent, and the pump surely beats plain bottles with screw-off caps -- though you can use it that way, too.
