What do you use for just a quick wipedown of your firearms

[StevieP]

Bored, waiting out the hurricane that's not coming, stupid question of the day:

Everyone talks about cleaning, etc. Take down, clean, lube, and re-assembly of the insides...

After cleaning the barrel, action, bolt, etc. and applying your grease, or lube/oil, what do you use on the exterior?

Or what about just a general wipe down for say, an AR-15 w/ stainless barrel, or a polymer pistol, stainless 1911, etc. in-between cleanings.

 

[HTRN]

CLP, silicone impregnated rag or Remington moisture guard.

The last I use when I plan to store them for a while, or in a foam lined case.

 

[Force]

Hoppe's Silicone Cloth

 

[Moderator]

I spray them with a quick thin coat of oil and then wipe with a oil impregnated rag.

 

[Rugerfan]

Rag with Amsoil synthetic motor oil on it. Metal surfaces only. All other surfaces get a coat of bowling alley wax.

 

[gerrycaruso]

I use a little Ballistol on a rag. I think the fact that you're wiping down the gun is much more important than what you use.

 

[[cerberus]]

I prefer the silicone approach, but I will put oil on them just the same.

 

[Stryker]

light coat of oil and wipe down with an old tshirt

 

[Ol Doc]

I use a product called Sheath (birchwood-Casey sprayed on a piece of sheepskin as a rust preventative. It is not a multipurpose cleaner, lubricant, protectant. It was designed from the ground up to prevent rust.

 

[Grimstache]

Solve it all with Balistol!

 

[Twigg]

I use Rem-oil wipes for a quickie exterior cleanup.

[strangenh]

Bullfrog Rust Hunter

 

[paracarry]

I use what the 3 stooges use to sell BRITO.

 

[majspud]

My oily cleanup wash cloth; mostly CLP on it.

MS

Makes old bodies like new, we'll sell a million bottles, a whoo whoo wawoo wawoo

 

[Mark from MA]

Clp or sheath or light gun oil onmetal surfaces. Fornbys lemon oil on wood

 

[carbuncle]

I use a silicone cloth for the exterior after cleaning, no particular brand. I keep one in the range bag as well.

mctrinket:

[endus]

[45collector]

light coat of oil and wipe down with an old tshirt

Exactly what I do, with CLP.

 

[ochmude]

Ditto on the oily rag made from an old tshirt.

 

[Dench]

CLP or Barricade.

 

[GunGrey]

Pretty much CLP and a rag

I hate that remington stuff doesnt last long enough

 

[ntomsw]

I use a Hoppe's cloth. I forget the exact name of it. That's what I use to wipe them down after I clean them.

 

[ARV]

a piece of old t-shirt that I add oil to as needed and hang on a nail by the workbench.
