For Jakeroo above, CLP sold here in the States is found in several brands, such as, BREAK FREE Cleaner-Lubricant-Preservative, one of the first brands, I believe, to meet the modern milspec (Military Specification) for an all-in-one cleaner/lubricant/preservative, PROLIX, and EEZOX, just to name a few. Kind of a 'Jack of all Trades',approach, since there are better individual cleaners, lubricants (RemOil or Wally's for instance), and preservatives (RIG, Cosmoline, etc). Jim Haynes

I've used EEZOX for at least 8 or 10 years on my hunting rifles...works great as a protectant, stinks like the devil. I've never used it as a cleaner. Here's an interesting link to Eezox http://www.eezox.com/gun-care.html

I don't use a bore solvent anymore, after seeing many a double with loose ribs. A lead disolving solvent will attack the solder joints of a double if repeatedly used and allowed to come in contact with the solder joints, usually this means the muzzle and the the first foot of the ribs that it wicks into.
I've often wondered what caused the loose ribs on lots of older guns I've looked at...Double Gun Journal should do some research into this ?

Bill Hambidge, if they are cooking in Ballistol I would rather eat with the buzzards! That stuff reeks! But then it might be a Marine thing.
Jim Haynes, I have seen several head to head comparisons of various popular lube/protectant oils on exposed steel plate. In each BreakFree CLP has been equal to or better than anything else tested. If you have seen tests showing better performance could you refer me please as I will certainly switch. Cosmoline is probably better at long duration protection but who would want to have to get that goo off with solvents everytime the gun was to be fired or even displayed. I have not yet seen tests with high grade waxes in comparison with CLP. I would expect some of them to be very good.

The quickest way is to hire someone else to do it for you.

Jager (you German hunter you), Your dead bang right about that. Problem is, can't hire anyone to do a good job. Alas. Jake
