Kroil was a favorite of benchrest shooters in the past. Does anyone still use JB paste?

MPro7 works great, has no smell and so is wife-approved even!

EEZOX smells but REALLY knocks down fouling and does a wonderful job on metal-metal bearing points. Doesn't seem to do as well on tupperware, so I'm moving to Slide Glide Light for plastic rails....

IMO Grease > oil in most cases, as it sticks to the rails, and inner workings of the gun that need it.

Hoppes #9, IMO, is worthless. The Wipe Out is so ridiculously easy to use, I can't imagine how I lived without it. 10 minutes and the gun's bore is perfect. Push 1 patch, soaked in Wipe Out Accelerator, through the bore. Stuff a paper towel loosely into the e-port of the gun. A very quick shot of Wipe Out is all that's needed. It'll come foaming out of the end of the barrel. Wait 10 minutes for it to do it's thing. Run about 5 dry patches through the bore, until the barrel is completely dry, and there you go. The bore will be spotless. There's nothing easier on the market.
