Just for fun I went on the internet and checked out a lot of MSDSs on various gun oils. You would be surprised what is in a lot of this stuff!
Just for an example, I found that Birchwood Casey 'synthetic' gun oil with PTFE worked pretty well in my gun. According to the MSDS report I came across, it has a lot of naptha in it, some synthetic oil, and of course PTFE. So is that a synthetic gun oil? Maybe the naptha is intended for cleaning.
I think I am going to stick to the Hoppes Elite gun cleaner, and the Hoppes Elite gun oil. The Hoppes Elite gun oil is mostly conventional oil, some synthetic oil, and a chemical additive to reduce wear.
I could not find a MSDS on Breakfree although I think somebody here posted something about what is in the stuff a while back.
If Hoppes Elite gun oil does well enough I will stick to it. Otherwise I guess I will use Hoppes Elite gun cleaner (on the bore of the barrel) and Breakfree to lube my gun.
