Balistol?
TheCytochromeC, how do you like the Balistol? Been thinking of trying it, as it's easier to find than G96? Any issues or particular tips or cautions??

Re: Oil or Grease
OK, so I'm clearly an outlier here, but I've just been using G96 on my guns for years. Maybe a bit of Hoppes to clean stubborn leading in pistols that I've shot my lead bullet reloads through, and maybe some RIG on the blued guns' exteriors before putting them away. Never had a rusty gun, or ANY type of mechanical issue with autos or revolvers. I just spray 'em down with G96, scrub away all of the dirt, wipe 'em down, put 'em together, then back in the safe until the next outing. Maybe it's because I'm a clean gun freak, but this has worked for me for the past 30 years.
NOW, in the name of full disclosure, I've not done multi-thousand round no cleaning torture tests with any of my guns, so my approach might not survive that sort of deal. That said, I'm pretty old school, so am interested to hear how/why you all chose the products you use to clean/maintain your guns, and ALWAYS want to hear about ways to make cleaning easier and better, since shooting's always more fun than cleaning.....
