I will agree on corrosionX and Ballistol, and gunslick foaming bore cleaner haven't had a lot of use with the others, though.

CorrosionX is the BEST corrosion inhibitor oil and up near the top for lubrication, that I have used. All of my smokeless burners get it. My 10/22 has a homemade extended mag release, that I made by drilling out the factory release and epoxying in a dowel pin. I forgot to oil it once and it had light surface rust, but the corrosionX film that was on the pin allowed me to wipe away the rust with a cloth with more corrosionX, looks brand new again. I try to remember to wipe it off any time i touch it, should cold blue it one of these days!

Ballistol I use primarily for my Remington (copy) 1858 .44cal blackpowder revolver. Great oil to keep blackpowder arms clean. I have also used it on my grandfathers winchester 62 pump .22lr, which he had the barrel so plugged up with residue from CCI shotshells I coulnt get a rod through without a hammer (i was as careful as I could be too). I plugged one end of the barrel, filled it with ballistol and let sit for 30 mins. The crap that came out was amazing! Brushed the bore and repeated the filling process once more, then lots of brushing and patches and it was shiny as can be...

The gunslick foaming bore cleaner i use on my little kel-tec 9mm pistol. Does what I need it to: removes copper.

I also really really like the Gunslick graphite grease. It slicks up actions and pivot points (O/U shotguns!) real well. It does not, however, work on my 1911 that is fairly tight fitting and I shoot light target loads...

good write ups though! keep them coming!
