Testing various types of gun oil

Great

it's a step on they way.

So far:
-ww2 US oil (yours truly)
-norwegian military oil (yours truly)
-Hoppe's (yours truly)
-Various non gun oils (yours truly)
-(DCCUK's mixture?)

-US CLP (Crotalus)
-Militech1 (Crotalus)

..again.. I don't need a full bottle for this simple experiment, just one soaked patch.

DCCUK, usually I shoot outdoor, but rarely under -10`C (since I now live in Oslo). I have fired 7.62 H&K G3 without problems in -40`C (without oil, just some lead added on moveable parts), same rifle will start jamming in -10`C with regular gun oil and function quite well down to about -30`C with oil/fuel mixture. (I haven't tried any other auto rifle that goes that low)
I have found 9mm in MP5 and Glock pretty much useless in temperatures below -20`C, even without oil. One short time solution would be to pee on it if needed very badly, I know that works
