What solvent do you use to clean your firearm?

[Uilleam]

I've pretty much used Hoppes #9 all my life.

What do you use? Pros/Cons of what you use?

Just rem oil and a tooth brush. If I am in a hurry and don't have time to disasseemble the gun some good ole brake cleaner works wonders.

However, I still like the smell of Hoppes #9 the best. It's like an aphrodisiac. Pro - This would be at my top of the CLP list. Con - This stuff is not cheap to purchase, but as they claim, "a little goes a long way."

I do like Ballistol as well. It will melt black powder residue for sure. They won't share what's in it that smells, well like you know what G-rat said. I do agree that it is an acquired smell.

Piss and vinegar. Results vary from person to person.

Project Farm just did a yutube video on this last week if anyone cares. Interesting results.

G96 or Rem Oil on the outside

Hoppes, Bore Tech, Butch's, Sweets, I have a lot of stuff on my bench, all work well.

Add sweetshooter and weapon shield aka firepower to this list and that about sums up the cleaner/lubricants on my bench.

Also use mobil delvac 1300 super 15w40 as a lubricant.

G96 is my favorite. I'm trying all the stuff made by Lucas oil too. So far it seems like great stuff.

Lucas products seem to work good for us also.
