I Tested $3 Mineral Oil Against Ballistol, Hoppe's & CLP On Guns A Clear Winner!

Four bottles, three rounds, thirty-one days on the same bar of steel. A $2.58 bottle of pharmacy mineral oil against Ballistol, Break-Free CLP, and the Hoppe's oil that's been on my bench since 1984. The cheap bottle lost one round. One of the brands turned out to be the cheap bottle with a label on it. And the one I trusted most is the one I've quit buying. Dry board, wet board, vertical board, and a gum check. Every label read on camera, off the manufacturer's own sheet. Every price as of this week. I'm a retired Tennessee wildlife officer, thirty years in the field, and nobody sends me anything for free.

And tell me what your daddy used, and what that rifle looks like now.
