    Kroil-based rifle bore cleaner?

    I remember a thread from a long time ago where someone posted the ingredients for a home-brew bore cleaner containing Kroil penetrating oil and another product in a 50/50 mix. I don't remember the second ingredient. Anybody got some help on this?
    Thanks!

    Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine. But Lord, if today be the day that you call me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.

    I thought it was. A couple years ago I did a comprehensive cleaning thread, and coulda swore Mr. Jerry told me about the 50/50 SC and Kroil mix.

    So is Kroil good to oil/lube guns with by itself?

    No. Kroil is not a good lubricant. It's a penetrating oil, but based on personal experience, it'll freeze on you in a heartbeat.

    I learned it from a friend years ago.
