The oil is better than any gun oil.

The cleaner is a milder version of the old Ed's Red mix. Works great.

Just remember with lube, less is usually more when Applying.

You can spend 13 bucks on a tiny bottle of moly lube, but it works no better at rust prevention and doesn't seem to protect as well when it comes to wear.

I know you are way more in the know then me but i thought dry firing a gun is bad for the gun.


Well the short answer is, it depends on the gun. But for nearly all modern firearms, it isn't detrimental.

For older 22lr handguns and rifles it can be an issue since the firing pin is shaped differently. Since rimfire firing pins have to impact a larger area, the firing pin is box-shaped. Dry firing one can cause it to sheer and not work. There may be more to it than this but this is how I understand it.

As for modern striker-fired or hammer-fired handguns, dry fire all day long. Personally, I wouldn't buy a gun if I couldn't dry fire it.

22's and other rimfire guns have problems when dry firing because the firing pin hits the rim of the case. Without a cartridge in the chamber the firing pin will sometimes contact the edge of the barrel which is much harder than a brass case.

And depending on the gun, either the firing pin takes a beating or it is hard enough to pean the edge of the barrel which will cause ejection/loading issues.

What's a good solution to clean and grease the gun?

Break Free or Ballistol work great and were designed for firearms. If you want to go the two stage route, use anything like Hoppes #9 to clean and a firearm lubricating oil to grease. All of this stuff was designed for these purposes. Engine oil was designed for engines. Gun oil was designed for guns. Neither will do better at the other's job.
