The grease, that comes in the Swiss military cleaning kit, Tradex sells. It is used in the Swiss military for everything that shoots. From the M109 howitzer
to the Sig Sauer P 220.
I usually fill it up when I go back to my old country.
 
Lots of good advice. I use milcom tw25b grease on rails and barrel, milcom mc2500 oil for all else. Solvent wise to clean inside of barrel only I use the old school hoppes(not the newer elite variation, have read it causes rusting if left in barrel overnight). For cleaning I use safariland clp in the few areas regular oil doesn't wipe away crud(breach face, locking lug area).

I don't ever use any straight cleaner or solvent to clean areas that cannot be relubed(pins, recessed areas). You'll never be able to get the solvent completely out without full tear down, compressed air or not.

P.S. I get my lube at Williams Arms in port perry, Ontario. They take phone orders.
 
Atomatinfett.
I use it on all my guns exept AR15 BCG's (oil there).

I have never seen a Swiss rifle that had worn metal parts that were lubricated with it...

AUTOMATICS GREASE
Technical instruction card materials number: 2119.3328
ALN: 335-4809
Grease for the lubricating of automatic weapons

Characteristics and employment

The automatic grease is a special grease for the maintenance and engagements lubrication of all automatic weapons also at low temperatures.
The additive of MoS2 guarantees good lubrication characteristics in particular for bolts under extreme
conditions of all automatic weapons. Special additives secure a high corrosion protection ability and
a high water resistance for the protection of the weapons against corrosion.

Fulfilled requirements

Special grease in accordance with requirement of the army

This is no simple Moly grease as it also contains ingredients for cleaning the bore and chamber.
 
Hey guys thanks for all your input I can see that there is a wide range of products and everyone has there own preference. Gun show this weekend I will see what is there but it looks like ezzox is not the way to go.
PS. thanks everyone for keeping this clean, with a title like the one I put I am sure impressed with how on track this thread stayed. Positive and refreshing to see here.

MODS - you can delete this one now, I have enough info.
 
You hit the "nerve" topic. 6 pages of replies in only 3 days.... :d

...... Sig 1911-22, Rurger mark 3 -22, and a Jericho 9mm steel. Currently I use Ezzox in all my shotguns and rifles with no issues.
Thanks in advance for your input.

For the .22's in particular I'd go with the EEZOX you have already. I only just got my own can a while back and I've done my Ruger Mk III with it. The jury is still out on how often I'll need to clean it with the EEZOX, which is also the reapplication of it. But so far it's looking real good.

The Jericho will also suffer from lots of blown back fouling in the action so I'd suggest that EEZOX for this one will work well also.

The only downside to using EEZOX in the gun is that it requires us to break things down totally before cleaning so we can wipe on and leave just the right film. So I feel it's a product which is best used on guns where they are the sort which are NOT cleaned after each range visit.

If you're the sort that cleans regardless of one shot or 1000 shots and after each outing then I'd suggest an option where you can flush and blow dry. The long term low fouling build that EEZOX is so worth while for just won't do much good for such a person. And the need to fully break down the gun to correctly apply it means a massive work load.

For a "clean after every outing" truly OCD sort an easier and just as good option is Ed's Red. It's an easily made up general purpose solvent cleaner that after it drains or is possibly blown out with a little low pressure air leaves a totally workable amount of ATF to act as a lubricant and corrosion protectant. And the good news is that the gun only requires field stripping and removal of wood or rubber grips to allow good access to all the areas that need to be flushed.
 
or is possibly blown out with a little low pressure air
I've always been a little leery of using compressed air to blow through my firearms. I realize lots of folks do it but there is moisture in compressed air that you are blowing into the tiny cracks and crevasses.
