For decades I used Hoppe's No. 9 solvent for bore cleaning, and Hoppe's Gun Oil to lube. The usual brass bore brush, cleaning rods, cotton patches. I watched Hickock 45s youtube vid on cleaning and started toothbrushing the receivers of semi autos, leaving them dry, the way he showed. I like that.

The bore snake came along and I love those. Kind of a lazy man's way of doing it. Today I cleaned 4 semi-autos that needed it. I used Break Free CLP to clean and Miltec to lube. The CLP is a first for me, but I've read so many guys use it, that I figured why not.

So what is your solvent and lube of choice ?
