Airline Pilot here.. Flying pro tip: To prevent bottles from leaking. Before you fly, squeeze out as much air as you can from the bottle (think negative pressure), then seal/close it. Now while in the air, the air inside the bottle expands, but it doesn’t expand so much as to force out air/oil etc..

[@anthonymccoy4460]

Yay for science sir. I fly for a living and will use this!

[@briankeeney6767]

You, sir, have nailed why our product works-- there's no air in the syringe volume. On the off chance that the oil heats up enough to expand, the plunger is displaced slightly, negating the pressure and thus depressurizing the seal.

John, greatly appreciate your wide ranging, informative and professional vids. Would like to comment about my combat experience with the M16A1. I've pretty much heard all the negative comments/experiences thru the years about this firearm. My personal experience as an Armored Cavalry Plt Ldr in the Central Highlands in 1970 was extremely positive with the 16A1. I can't remember any FTW issue with myself or my platoon.I never once had to use the forward assist. On dismounted missions I carried 2 bandoliers with most of my men carrying 3 bandoliers (6 mags per) Don't think I ever used more than 5 mags a firefight and seemed like maybe 10-12 mags each for the troops. The 60 pig did get a workout big time. Never crossed my mind or to my knowledge my troops mind that the weapon wouldn't function. I had total confidence in it. I was more paranoid about running out of ammo or how soon I could get a Cobra pink-team overhead. That being said, we had the A1! A totally different firearm vs the original M16. Chromed chamber/bore, better lube (LSA) and the correct ammo propellant resolved the nightmarish issues with the original 16. Oh yes, we cleaned it!!!! Most of us during a halt, would slide the BCG out, wipe it down with a rag, oil it with some LSA, slide it back in, good to go. What 30 seconds! I NEVER ONCE had to remind my guys to clean their 16s. It was an automatic event, like breathing. I can still picture these guys cradling their 16 in their arms; TLC like a new born. Only experience with A2 was stateside training. Maybe query some Marines (trigger pullers, not REMFs) about their combat A2/A4 experiences. In addition, the 16A1 we were issued had been in country for approx 3+ years. The bolt cam was shiny and grooved, the retaining pin was the crooked original , never once disassembled the extractor from the bolt, original buffer/spring. Get my point? This is a great firearm. Wipe it down, keep it wet and it will go bang. Does it get hot with a too much auto, yes. Can you drag it thru mud and sand like a M1, NO! My only complaint was the POS mag. Had to load 18 rd. Ridiculous, but how hot could it get with a few burst emptying an 18 rd mag? My impression about the A4/M4 is related to the very fine sand grit in Iraq, and maybe the harsh recoil of the M4 gas system. I defer to those who served there.

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Vegetable oil is for my cast iron skillets. For guns, I use CLP, Hoppe’s #9 and CRC Electronic Parts cleaner (just like Gun Scrubber, comes in a red can, jet spray action, $4.75 at Walmart).

[@dwightrider5713]

I discovered an ultrasonic cleaning tank and no longer spend a lot of time cleaning guns. I recommend Lucas Gun Oil. Comes in a small leak proof bottle with a needle.

[@astang1072]

Yes!!!!! Wish I could “like” 10k times! I too spent years finding the “best” ways. I totally agree with your cleaning frequency. Guys, all the “gun” lubes are the same as good automotive lubes just rebottled. Yes, some have weird additives, so does diesel or aviation lubes; buy those if you want additives and they're STILL cheaper than the $10/oz super “gun” lube of the year. I use Mobile 1 synth. I paint it where I want it with a q-tip. No need to overthink gun lube. Spit works for a short amount of time. I will warn those in cooler climates: here in the NE (read “New England” or “north east”) its below freezing for several months. Many of the famed high temp “gun” oils, Frog Lube or others made from veg oil will THICKEN badly and will lock up an over lubed gun in the cold. At the very least provide poor lubrication as it turns to hard gel (more like candle wax consistency). The same goes for grease, too thick and congealed in the cold. Good synth oils work just as well at 10° as they do at 100°. Also, I hear how certain oils “don't attract dust” and how other types do. This is idiotic; any sort of wet oily film will let particles stick to it. The only way to avoid this is with teflon, graphite or moly dry lubes but then rust prevention is gone (another good vote for auto lubes). Don't worry about dust, if it gets filled with dust it’s time to clean. Your firearm needs oil, don’t avoid good lube to avoid dust. Lastly, where I’ll disagree with Mr. Lovell is I’m quite anal about avoiding crown damage on rifles so a good bore guide (~$20) and a good fitting non-steel rod (~$30) are part of my kit. Not a fan of snakes.

[@dant4786]

[@blurryface1975]

growing up, the gun i shot the most was my marlin model 60 22lr. I didnt know much about gun cleaning or gun maintenance back then. I would just shoot the crap out of it nearly every weekend. I cant even count how many countless bulk packs of ammo that i sent through that thing. The only cleaning it ever got was a shot of wd40 in the action and some wd40 rubbed on the outside of the receiver and barrel. Granted, it does have quite a bit of rust on the outside of the barrel now, but it still runs great. The first time i ever actually took it apart, cleaned it, and used actual gun oil on it i was already in my 30's. I say all this to say, i do agree, it doesnt really take much to keep these things going most of the time.

When bringing liquids on a plane, try squeezing most of the air out of the container and sealing it a bit dented.

Love the "I don't care as long as it's wet" on the lube. I totally concur! I taught bear/firearms for the USFWS in Alaska for 15 years where guns were REALLY abused by the biologists packing those guns in the field for months on end... many times guns were so dry I just had to spray the crap out of everything just to get it going, and it would... lube it! I'll take the make-it-easy that a step further... synthetic engine oil in a glass dropper bottle.. the oil (I use diesel oil, cause that's what I have).... is designed for high temps/brutal conditions, longevity, and all the conditions a gun would face.. plus it's extremely cost effective...$5/quart instead of $20 per 2-oz... the glass dropper works great and the bottle doesn't leak... I have glass bottles, which could break if abused, but they are pretty thick.. you could find plastic ones. Give that a try, you'll be surprised at how well it works. I can tell you that testing on oil performance can not be beat by those making oil for diesel truckers (or cars).... WAY more than any gun oil...

Stupid Silly Story: Best gun cleaning oil: I have no idea what it's called - The brand name disappeared decades ago. Here's the story: One day at the range, one of my .22 rifles was misfiring because it was just plain dirty. Yep, EVERY one of those expensive little bottles of "Gun oil", AKA the Men's version of Perfume, had leaked and were ALL completely dry. The ONLY bottle of oil in my entire range bag that had NOT leaked was an ANCIENT bottle of knife honing oil. So I used it to soak a bore snake, and ran it through! It came out blacker than black! Whoa, I cried! I had never seen THAT before, dirty yeah, but not like THAT!! I took it all home, and spent the next 2 hours inspecting that rifle. It was cleaner than I had EVER gotten it using those silly Men's Perfume Products! So Yeah, I desperately tried to find out what that stuff was! I never did. It was likely just some bottle of Vegetable oil that came with a Kitchen Sharpening stone set, that I had purchased like 45 years ago! For all I know, it's just fryer grease! Because it came with a Chef's Knife Sharpening Stone Set that I DO remember getting when I worked in a Restaurant when I was 16. (1977) The Chef himself used that very set. I Used that Very set in the Restaurant. Yeah, the set itself is still in my own kitchen, 45 years later, but the oil, somehow ended up in my Range Bag Cleaning Kit. So the Oil itself, is Likely food grade (AKA Vegetable Oil)...

0W-40 full synthetic motor oil mixed with Aeroshell 33 to a honey like consistency has been working well for me. For about 30 bucks you will have more then you know what to do with. I give it away to my gun buddies.

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Most of the guys I served with, self included, essentially had two kits. There's what you carry in the field and then there's what you use back in garrison. In garrison, or at home, I really like my single stainless rod with nice bearing loaded handle for my cleaning patches and jags. I also preferred brake cleaner as a solvent, very popular and effective but the fumes are pretty strong indoors. I also really like my pipe cleaners for gas tubes and really brushing tight spaces hard to get your tooth brush into. Some patches and dental picks, oh and lube of choice. I really don't care much either what oil, so long as it displaces moisture and keeps things sliding slick. Now for out and about, those Bore Snakes are really cool and compact but the good old GI cleaning rods are fine as well. Again a few pipe cleaners and patches for lubing the barrel at the end, and some all purpose CLP type liquid. For the quick cleanings it's more about the lube than the solvent. Clean enough is good enough. Just needs to be reliable. I still like to have a tooth brush and one dental pick but only if there's room. I can get by without them. Of course I wrap all that up in my rag. Appreciate all the pro tips, especially the one about the tooth brush. Yah, for that!

[@humansvd3269]

Boresnakes are faster and easier. Rods can scratch and bend and the patch holder over time can get worn and come loose after ever pass through the barrel. OTIS and boresnakes are a plus.

Interesting perspective, I honestly enjoy cleaning my guns after every range trip, It's cathartic for me. Maybe it's OCD but I also treat my vehicles the same way, no not after every drive however every weekend with a brew gets a thumbs up! I'd like to be able to preserve my firearms as much as possible for my grand-kids eventually.

You use Mobile 1 for your guns? (I'm not being a wise-ass.) That wold be very cheap alternative to commercial "gun lubricants."

[@AndrewWisler]

Absolutely, and I know lots of competitive shooters who put 20K+ rounds a year downrange who do as well. Synthetic oil is designed to maintain lubricity for 6000 miles at engine heat, gun lubrication is a lot less demanding. Put some in a needle bottle and apply every couple hundred rounds. More important than cleaning your guns, actually.

[@jamesroger5176]

I still use the same two kits that I have cents I got my first shotgun at 16. The only thing that I added was another kit for handguns when I was 21. Nothing fancy and cheap the only thing extra that I do is I get a cheap can of breakkleen. Yes the stuff you use on your cars breaks. It will do most of the cleaning for you and doesn’t harm the gun in any way. I started using the break kleen when my friend came home on leave one time and told me that’s how all of his Seabee brothers cleaned their weapons. So I’ve been using that method for over thirty years and have no damage to any of my weapons. I still own my first shotgun and first handgun so this is long term use with no adverse effects but quick cleanup of my weapons

I was in the military in the 80's. Grew up around guns and shooting. Have carried for over a decade, I shoot at least once a week. I have always been a 'keep it clean and lubed but never wet' dude. Never had any issues whatsoever. I have used Hoppes #9 about 99.9% of my life...it's practically free. An occasional oil discoloring on a rag that used to be my favorite pair of Joe Boxers is no big deal. I have more issues with solvent leaking occasionally and not lube. This video to seems to indeed be...persnickety.

Thanks for the video. I had a lot of laughs (You must know some Marines to give pro tips!). Coming from the M16A2 generation you are quite right they wouldn't work without constant care and feeding. However, I have stripped down my cleaning kit to the bare bones as well and don't clean my weapons quite as often. It boils down to twice a year with a full tear down. And once a month quick clean (I shoot at least 3 times a month). Thanks for the syringe tip. I will use it and it is sweet for my everyday carry, (keep her lubed). Glad I found your channel!

[@Hearthman1159]

Always love your vids John. FYI, if you draw air into your big syringe first and push about 1cc into your oil container then invert the oil will rush into your big syringe. This is how we do it in medicine (retired paramedic). You can use any Luer Lock syringe btw.
