Recommended Cleaning + Lubricating spray?

[Kracken McGraw]

What does it smell like? Napalm in the morning (i.e. victory)?

Lol, it has a real pleasing pine smell. The oil is actually green in color.

Huh. Maybe it's Pinesol on St. Patrick's Day.

I don't know if it is any good or not but Amsoil (synthetic oil maker) has a cleaning and a lubricant for fire arms now.
I only see it listed in the catalog but do not have first hand knowledge as to how it does.
Just a FYI.

Me personally still looking for that "Magic solution".

I love the Hornady One shot in the black can. Works outstanding in firing pin assemblies and on triggers because there's no greasy mess. Very effective as a lubricant in hard to get places and also makes cleanup a breeze if your using on pistols or muzzle devices. I spray on the outside of my shotguns that get rained on and live a hard life and no longer have any surface rust issues like I did with motor oil. I do still use an oil for high wear areas like rails and barrel links and bolt carrier groups but the one shot makes cleanup of those a piece of cake!

Should that have read "don't have" first-hand knowledge?

A friend and avid hunter has been an Amsoil dealer for decades, since the 1970s. He had this to say about their firearm-specific product:

IMO, not worth it. Sorry to have to say that, but IMO you will be just as well off using a good synthetic 0w10 or 0w20 engine oil.

THIISS!!!!! Best drying light lube I have ever tried. Just hose everything down and let it dry. Super cheap and you get it at Lowes, Walmart, Amazon... etc etc Smells like oranges.

Another nod for Hornady One Shot Gun Lubricant. I started using this on the bolt of my highpower comp rifles. It is super slick, and makes rapid fire stages even easier. The fact that it is dry helps keep the dirt and dust off of the bolt and action.

Good Luck,
Ross

I use lighter fluid on my triggers. I use WD40 Specialist for rust protection.

Edited... I do not use WD40 Specailist on my scopes..

I use carburetor cleaner on all my triggers and blow off access air gun.
