Thread: Cleaning Firearms ..... What Are You Using ?

The only thing negative I have to say about Kroil is- It creeps so well that if you get some in screw holes it will back the screws out. I kept having to tighten up screws on numerous firearms of mine (Ruger SBH, Marlin 1894, Remington Model 11 etc) and I came to the conclusion that is was the Kroil that was creeping all in the threads. The recoil and mechanical nature of the firearms was working it all loose.

Glad you posted this. I checked out amazon reviews of the stuff and it is apparently the cat's whiskers for removing stuck nuts/bolts. Even rusted stuck. I'm going to get some for that purpose, but doubt I'll lube my firearms with it. Got what I need for that.
