Good Article.. Sgt
What we learned as kids for cleaning doesn't always work that well now..
learned some new stuff..thanks
The next situation that may be encountered is extremely hot weather – temperatures above 85 degrees. Why test a lubricant for high temperatures? You will find that some oils will literally evaporate as the temperature exceeds 100 degrees. Many will become so thin that they offer almost no lubrication and will run out of the areas in the firearms that really need to be lubricated. You will probably find that a good grease is more suitable for extremely high temperature operations
This was very good for me...did not know that..
And in Arizona...yikees
I have been trying out a new cleaner..
It is synthetic made by :
www.steelshieldtech.com
Read some reviews on another forum..
everything people said is true, i cleaned my .357 one day after shooting 100 .38 shells... (i did this to test this product)
Came home and did a very good cleaning with the standard stuff that i have always used...(got to love the smell of Hoppes in the Mans Room

)
I am a perfectionest when i clean..when i was finished

it was beautiful..
then i ran a swabb of this synthetic down the barrel..Yikeess..
it came out with some black on it :bang:
so i started over on the barrel, it was like i had only done a half job before..dang it
Now i clean all my guns with this and as you shoot them, they are easier to clean every time...
we will see this summer though on how well it holds up in the heat...
PS..on my Ruger Markll.. i have never seen the slide work as smooth as it does now
If anyone wants to know what forum these reveiws are on, send me a PM
