I've been using amsoil for a while now, seems like it's good for light duty stuff, what's your guys go to for firearm cleaners?  |

Hoppes #9 and Rem Oil. I find #9 helps with lead or copper fouling.

For rifles Hoppe's#9. If badly fouled, start with copper or brass brush, rinse repeat till clean pad comes out clean. Always start from the loading end.

MP7 for cleaning. Slip2000 or CLP for lubrication depending on the application. CLP applied lightly on blued metal, and the final patch down the bore. Slip 2000 on moving parts because it won’t gum up like oil will.
If stored longer term, I’ll keep them in a silicone sock (you know what they are). Make sure your safe has a heater rod in it to keep the temp from fluctuating - that’s how moisture gets drawn in.
That said, I don’t clean as obsessively as I used to. There’s a couple of guns that need to be squeaky clean to work (finicky bastards), but most don’t give a damn and do what they’re supposed to.
Cars drive, guns go bang. Or they get sold. The only reason to keep them around is sentimental value.
