I don't really have an area in the garage to clean as the space is taken up with the wife's car and my brewing equipment so something that I could use at a table off the kitchen or at worst on our covered patio that doesn't smell like a chemical factory or that I have to worry about if I get some on me I'll grow a 6th digit on my hand. On my CW I use frog lube and after 1000 rounds or so it's fine but it's always on my body under a shirt and will not be subjected to as much weather and elements.
Any suggestions for cleaner & lube products for my new rifle?
RDE:
Hoppes # 9 Plus or similar product.
For lube or cleaning and lube -- CLP or similar product.
I do most of my cleaning and lubing with CLP.
Wear some throw away gloves if you are scared about getting some on your skin.
You can also run a search because this topic comes up at least twice a year. There are other products guys like but most are similar to the two I mentioned.
LR55
