Gun Cleaning & Lubricant Product Reviews

Review of Tipton's Rapid Deluxe Bore Guide Kit. This kit claims to be universal, and even provides some stuff for guns that can't be cleaned from the muzzle. It also offers a fancy way to insert patches and apply solvents, but does it really work? Let's find out.

Steelgard is billed as an all-in-one gun care product, acting as a cleaning solvent, lubricant, and anti-corrosion protectant. Can one product really do all of those jobs? Read on...

Review of Rusty's Rags sheepskin silicone gun cleaning cloth. Despite the name, these are not rags at all - they're patches of sheepskin impregnated with silicone, meant for wiping down your gun to prevent rust. The hairs can get into nooks and crannies where a cloth rag doesn't reach.

Review of Stinger shotgun bore cleaner. This is a shotgun shell containing patches and CLP. You load it and drop the hammer, which pops the primer and shoots a string out the end of your gun's barrel...

This combination of solvents and methodology makes for effective gun cleaning.

This cleaner, lube & protectant does as well as any; see what my testing shows.

These gun cleaning products, along with others from J. Dewey Mfg, are among the best I've ever used.

This spray lube was quite helpful in cleaning my shotgun's chamber, and in cleaning my black powder guns. I use it all the time around the house, too.

This shotgun chamber & choke cleaner is a great tool, which should be seen to be appreciated.

This lube & protectant is the most impressive product I've seen in months. And, a few years after writing this review, Militec-1 is still my gun lubricant/protectant of choice.

The results of a field test of some great high-tech lubricants.

ProTec makes some interesting products, and these are just a couple of them. Oil and solvent in metal pump spray bottles.

A couple more of ProTec's gun maintenance products - both oil and grease, in convenient precision applicators.

This cleaner did a fine job on two of my black powder guns, and it beats the old hot water trick.

Yet another test & review of a high-tech gun lubricant. The good, the bad, and the smelly.

This wax is said to be a good protectant for guns, and a release agent for bullet molds, too. I haven't tried it on my bullet molds, but it didn't impress me as a protectant.
