How about Hilco Lube? It was recommended by the wife of a military sniper and is used for many types of machinery.

This is Not lube in terms of grease.
It feels sort of like Breakfree, and Hilco did a nice job as a solvent in tiny areas which still had some cosmoline in my pair of excellent, almost unused Yugo M59 SKS rifles.

This stuff soaking in well prevented any more stovepipe jams, which had been very frequent-even After the tube, piston, action components and follower etc had been cleaned with both scalding water and some Hoppe's 9.

Having the word "gun" (or not) on a label doesn't ensure that something is the best product.
