Best For Cleaning out dust: Hornady Spray Gun Lube

Buy on Amazon

It’s made to lube rifle cases. It’s nice that One Shot can clean, but outside of cleaning the internal mechanism of a firearm, it is best used as great lube, not as a great cleaner. It is made to lube rifle cases. This goes on wet and quickly dries leaving a dry film coating behind that is very effective at lubricating and protecting against rust. The scent is strong and aerosol can scatter so make sure you're in a well ventilated area and wearing eye and breathing protection.

There’s really no dry lube that can reduce wear in those applications better than oils or greases. The smell is very mild and the lube shouldn't attract dust as much as oil. This is really great stuff for quickly cleaning your guns and it leaves a film of oil on the metal as well. They do not rust, and they work as well as with any other lube.

Why We Like This:

Solvent cuts dirt and fouling well
Creates dry corrosion-inhibiting film on tools
Works particularly well with "dirty shooting" semi-automatic rimfire rifles
Best for lube and corrosion protection

It cleans great and has no smell, leaves a nice slip inside and they look like new. It is not nearly as good at cleaning as ballistol nor breakfree and will only serve as a creeping lubricant and protectant from now on. It is great for semi automatics.

Buy on Amazon

Hoppes line of lube come in a pretty wide variety of styles, so you can definitely find one that suits your individual preferences and needs. It is just an indication where the Dri Lube has been sprayed, and while not visually pleasing, the metal-on-metal parts it coats aren't readily visible anyway. It evaporates in seconds and leaves a dry white film where it is sprayed. The white film it leaves behind is fine for firearms. It includes one 4 oz to add to that reduces friction on metal and bearing surfaces without sticky oils or silicones.

It works well on all weapons, does leave a residue that will need to be wiped off, but leaves nothing permanent other than a good layer of lubrication. There is no oil slowly draining into the stock or action. It is perfect for semi autos.

Best For chain Guns: Slip2000 Gun Lube

Buy on Amazon

The slip2000 gun lube's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. It is designed to give the american gun industry the best lubricants and cleaners on the market while addressing both human health and environmental issues. The result of using EWL as a cleaner is that it ingrains itself into the steel and blocks out carbon fouling. Carbon/fouling deposits are reduced and the lubrication excels which equates to less pitting, less wear & tear and long lasting protection against moisture.

The Slip2000 gun lube does not contain any silicone or ptfe (teflon) ingredients. It works well and keeps the guns running smooth. The EWL makes the cleaning easier and after you clean your weapon there isn't any reason to use any additional lube or protectant. These thicker oils are prime for harder to access areas during shooting activity.

Why We Like This:

Apply to hot metal for best application
Non toxic so you don't have to worry about getting cancer
Easy to put on and will not ruin the rubber grips
Appears to provide extended protection against wear and fouling
