For doing what?
I use 3in1 on my 22's
I grease the recoil rods with high temp grease
I use HT Grease on my Bolt Carriers and any gun oil lying around. or 5w-20 Synthetic Normally Mobil 1 or Valvoline

I just mixed up some Ed's Red last week. It works well as a dedicated cleaner, but its not a "clp". I didn't use the lanolin, since I didn't know where to find it on island. If you buy everything new from the hardware store, it comes out to about 30 bucks a gallon.
Its one part acetone, one part mineral spirits, one part ATF fuild (dexron III), one part k1 kerosene. I just mix a pint at a time in a mason jar, since I don't really need a whole gallon of the stuff sitting around.
For oil, I'll switch up what I use depending what I have laying around. I like to keep CLP in my range bag, and I have about 1/3 left of a big can of ballistol I've been using this last year. I have used mobile-1 10w-30 or 5w-20 in the past as well. It works just fine.
I also like to use white lithium grease on the slides of my pistol, and the high wear spots on my BCG for my AR-15. Just the cheap automotive store stuff that's like 5 bucks for a 1lb tub.
