Before cleaning and re-oiling a gun barrel, it is necessary to understand the proper application techniques. You should use a needle application tool to apply lubricant drops at the gun's specific lubrication points. These points include the slide assembly as well as the barrel's exterior. Avoid over-lubricating gun barrels as they can attract contaminants.

Kroil

Cleaning a gun barrel requires a certain technique. First, attach a bronze bristle brush to a cleaning rod. You will need to use 20 strokes for the barrel. After cleaning the barrel with the brush, remove the brush from gun. Next, make a cotton patch using Kroil. Then pass it through both the gun's chamber opening and the muzzle.

Alkaline oil

Alkaline oil makes a great cleaning agent for your gun's barrel and chamber. Use the alkaline oils to clean the barrel. After it has dried, you can apply the oil to the barrel. Continue this process until the surface is smooth and clean. If the cleaning process does not remove all dirt, you can apply a thin layer of silicone grease or Ballistol inside the bore of the barrel. No matter what cleaning method you choose to use, be sure that the barrel has dried completely before you store.


Purpose-made gun oil

Ballistol may be the best choice if you are looking for a high quality, non-toxic oil. This gun grease is highly efficient in migrating, allowing it to penetrate the gun’s mechanisms and provide the best protection. It's safe to use in any climate and it won't lose its viscosity, even at extreme cold temperatures. The gun oil also cleans guns, making it suitable for use with any firearm.

Napier of London

Napier of London oil is a good choice to clean a gun's barrel. There is an aerosol as well as a liquid version. Napier gun oils are formulated with VP90, a corrosion inhibitor. This vapour phase inhibitor was developed by Napier to combat the problems caused by rust. This law required that shotguns must be stored in gun safes. Napier gun grease adheres to metal surfaces.
