What's the best gun oil? When I first strated this thread, I was looking for the best lubricant, hence the word oil was used, as oil in my experience oil has always been a lubricant. Wasn't looing for a polish, bolt or bore cleaner, just the best alround lubricant. My father always used Singer Sewing Machine Oil. Thanks to all that have responded.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but how good is regular Hoppe's number 9 in comparison to CLP? I'm considering a switch. No sense using a solvent and a lubricant when CLP will do it all, and do it better.

After reading this detailed report I have switched from Rem-Oil to CLP:

Also, the AGI Gunsmithing videos I have mostly all recommend using Breakfree CLP too and it has worked great for me so far. If I ever have any problems with it then I'll look for something better, and probably harder to find and more expensive.
