| anybody have any experience or comments on this solvent? |

At the Sheriff Department I work at, I am in the process of evaluating the product. There are some other departments in the process of testing it as well and I will soon have their results. Here is what I have at this time:
Two AR-15's go to a a NRA LE Carbine School. One with the traditional BreakFree and one with Gunzilla. Both guns had no performance issues. The Gunzilla gun allegedly cleaned up easier after the initial cleaning with Gunzilla. This was after approx. 1,000 rounds each. Not much... I did speak with the Lt. of the Michigan State Police SWAT team. They took two MP5's to a competition. One cleaned with Hoppes #9/lubed with BreakFree and one with Gunzilla. The Gunzilla MP had no malfunctions. By the time they got through the 40 team members, the Breakfree gun was slowing down. The Gunzilla gun was running well. I spoke with the Head of Firearms for the Border Patrol. He did excessive testing with the product and found the product to greatly improve reliability of their M4's. As I learn more about this product, I will post. I am VERY interested in any input someone may have regarding the product. If ANY product works that is environmentally sound, you will see governmental agencies looking to change...I am not certain this is the product, but it may be. |

I have been useing Gunzilla now for about 3 years in my shop.
I am sold. It does an excellent job on cleaning and neutralizing existing rust and protecting against rust. I would suggest it to anyone looking for a cleaner that is not just another harsh chemical. It is an excellent choice for antique firearm cleaning. |
| I have cleaned my AR's three times now using Gunsilla and found the carbon that accumulates on the rear of the bolt and down in the carrier just about wipes off after applying and sitting for apx 25 min. Downside–– it has little or no effect on copper bbl fouling. Try putting a drop of different cleaners on pennies. Those that are effective will turn green or blue. |

Quoted: When you wife your guns finish with it it leave a very slick feeling to it. Ok i'm sorry that is just funny. But I digress, I will have to try this product and see how it works. Currently I have our department using Break Free CLP. I'll be keeping an eye on this topic for updates. |

There is a natural metal treatment, it's being sold mostly for automotive purposes, but the manufacturer notes it can be used on firearms. It is about $25 for a small bottle which would last a year or more for weapon lubrication. It's mineral based, and non-toxic, they claim if someone drank it they would be okay. It binds to the metal itself, even if the metal has existing lubricants, it will penetrate through. They sell it here but not online, I got some at the portland location for my engine, I have yet to return and test it on my firearms. It's so effective on my engine that I noticed the engine idles quieter and smoother about 15 seconds after I added it to my oil, I was impressed because I could actually hear the reduction in friction once the treatment bonded to the internal components. http://www.brooklinemachine.com I apologize I cannot remember the name, I went to their website several years ago and it was extremely difficult to find.

| My gunsmith gave me a bottle of it to try. I didn't find it to work any better than M-Pro 7. After reading a post about how good it is on carbon I put it on the end of my bolt and into the carrier and lrt it sit overnite. The next day the carbon was easily scraped off with a paper towel. |

Great stuff. I switched to it for my Bushy M4 and 1911 STI. I've been shooting both "dry" for the better part of 6 months, cleaning between range sessions with out any problems.
I've been shooting the 1911 in Steel Plate matches, "dry" and the gun runs flawlwssly. |
