John Mann says it well.
My dad (best engineer & clock-restorer I know) taught us 'D-40 just turns to gum.
Many shooters I meet here like BreakFree.
I've used Kroil and LPS-1 too, but for the last few yrs
have had good luck with something called "Four Way Action",
Share Corp. If you find the aerosol version, beware the intense 'cherry' nose !
They also have a penetrating oil, which I suppose hasn't
the cleaning ingredient, tri-chlor, or whatever's in there.
I haven't harmed any stock with it yet, as I did yrs ago to a nice '40's Winchester,
-sold on some other hi-tech stuff at the time-
But, wouldn't trust it to run off on Fr polish or other fine oil finish.
Something Remington had recently seems to be gone. "XLP" ???
I liked this all-'round cleaner/lube for the semi-'s and pistols. Perhaps it was a menacing compound...?
Now that Maryland devolves to Cali-chusetts, what'll be next.. after kangaroo leather upland boots, etc?
Best to All,
T.
