    I use Ballistol. Works well.

    I'm low on my RAM cleaning kit (the gun oil and solvent). After reading this thread I am going to buy the following to use for cleaning my G19 instead of the RAM products...

    >Slip2000 725 (for use as a cleaner/solvent)
    >Slip2000 EWL (for lube)

    No need for anything else?
    Will this suffice?

    Thanks

    Thanks guys!

    Another question - Slip2000 EWL or Slip2000 EWG (Lube or grease) which of the two would you recommend?

    Copper cutter for the barrel. 725 for other parts. Consider EWL30,not as thin as regular EWL, but thinner than EWG. I'm happy with it.

    I also use Trisol for general cleaning and lube of my hunting rifles. I generally roll my eyes when people diss Trisol. Is it the latest sexy, super-dooper lube? No. Is it good enough? For most applications, yes.

    If I want something more potent I haul out the Boretech or M98.

    Thanks man, checked the stock online at Hailstorm - they out of stock on the EWL30... My current list is, the Slip2000 725, EWG/EWL and Copper cutter. Do you know where else I can buy the Slip2000 products online?

    Thanks again

    I am definitely going to be getting some Slip2000 now for lubricating my rifle and my Glock. Seems I have finally found the lube I've been searching high and low for

    I start off by liberally spraying any Q20 type solvent
















    (preferably while FA still warm). Leave for 20 min, then start the cleaning cycle - Hoppes, jag, repeat... For lube I used to use Wynnflon, then moved to Break Free. Now use Slick 50 1Lube.
    Over the years, colected and tried all sorts, still have tins of Youngs .303 and Parker Hale Express gun oil. Good for lengthy storage, but not for my EDC.
    Hi Pcc. Do you still have a tin of the old 303 oil?. John 0829022066. Johnhowell888@gmail.com

    So have things changed much 6 years later?

    I'm changing from RAM products and Ballistol to Slip 2000 EWL for lubing and Eezox for rust prevention/storage.

    But what do you guys recommend for cleaning though, Hoppe's No.9?
