I've always been a huge fan of guns but I was never taught how to clean them other than a basic wipe with WD-40. I need to do a really good deep clean on them since I wont be using them for awhile. I have looked for help on google but I got confused with so many different answers, I was wondering if you guys could help set me straight
>What tools do you use (brass, steel, nylon brushes, snakes etc)
>what solvents to remove rust and fouling
>what oils and lubricants
>what do you use to coat against rust
>any specific steps or directions for their use

For reference I have all Remington shotguns and rifles plus a nugget with a rusty barrel since I forgot to clean it last time I shot it.

>basic wipe with WD-40
THAT has never been and will never be the proper way to clean a gun. WD-40 is meant to displace water when cleaning out vehicles and such.

you need
>punches
>screw driver set
>bore snake
>all purpose cleaning rod
>metal and nylon brushes
>non maring hammer.
>some thing non maring that you can place the gun on while you beat it. A gaffers tape roll will work.
>toothbrush
>a microfiber rag you use to wipe oil on the gun with. Mircofiber holds oil very well and can be used multiple times which saves oil.
>cotton patches.
just to name a few.

what solvents remove rust
>rem oil
>hoppes
you can use others but this is kind of all you need.

what oils and lubricants
>personally i use remoil but they all work.
>for certain guns you may want to use grease on the rails and camming surfaces.

what do you use against rust.
>remoil, its fantastic for it. It leaves a Teflon coating that protects the gun.

specific steps
>no, just spray and wipe.

your nugget is probably find just run a brush down it and a few patches cover in oil.

>i to am a fan of Remington(only vintage however).

Thanks, I figured just plain store bought rem oil and hoppes would be fine for solvents and oil but I've seen a lot of people say they were disappointed, if I do a full disassembly on my 870 and 700 remoil should be good to relube all the parts moving parts or do I need something thicker?
>>
>>32455424
Remoil is good for both of those. Remoil is also a good solvent. You dont always need hoppes.(unless you wanna get high).

>>32456051
it is not good at much but it will do a little bit of everything. Its a poor lube, dont believe go test it. Ive seen enough chumps shooting sporting clays and at the range who use it. There gun will go a few rounds and jam then it will jam every other round

>>32455941
It's hopps soaked rags sold at markup, why would you need to ask?
>>
>>32456514

Curious if the convenience is worth the $6 or if they're a shitty product and I'd be better off getting a bottle of oil and a rag.
>>
>>32456558
I got a pack of remwipes which are pretty much the same thing, they work fine but I shoot black powder so I have a box of cotton rags anyway and a big bottle of Hoppes isn't really expensive and lasts a long time.
>>
>>32456483
Is kroil worth it as a rust remover for really thick rust?
>>
>>32455893
remoil is ok as a solvent-too much scrubbing involved to be considered good
it sucks donkey donks for lube
you're a double fag for praising it like a shill

What do you suggest for lube and rust prevention then?
>>
>>32457401
>donkey donks for lube
many gunsmiths would disagree with you bud, shit even hickok uses it. Ive had alot of success with it.

>>32456702
i dont know ive never used it.

>>32454964
If you used google and failed to find an answer to such a simple question, please reexamine your life with a mind to possibly ending it.

We will not be able to help you here.

CLP + Wire brushes + cotton patches + ramrod

Key is CLP everywhere

I concur. Where did you get that crap?

These are 3 online corrosion testing articles that differ with the results in those images.
