gun bore oil

You are welcome to post it where you want Tac.

I've already asked on that forum about 3 months ago, it was a huge thread and the conclusion was I can't clean and it has never happened to any shooter on there.

I have read about a 1000 ways to clean a gun, and I'm not stupid, so I guess I'm doing something fundamentally wrong.
I think I maybe not drying the bore well enough?

I've even followed the original owners instructions on cleaning when we bought the pistol (we had a practical lesson), still the gun looks like this after a week. So do all my other steel guns, the Stainless ones don't

I'm going to make the bog roll cleaning rod over the weekend, we'll be shooting on Sunday so will have plenty to clean after.
I'm hoping a good dry with toilet/kitchen roll will sort the problem out.

Is there any reason why I can't bore oil with fully synithetic motor oil, 2 stroke or 4 rather than the thin type 'gun oils'?

It definitely sounds to me that you are not drying the bore, or as loiner said, the nipple channel. I would be wary of using toilet tissue with all the fine fibres that can come off. It might cause more problems than it will solve. I would stick to cloth patches.
Use the hottest water you can stand, or wear gloves and pour boiling water down the bore and let it drain out. That will leave the metal hot and if you dry it with a patch the heat should dry off the nipple and the channel. Try drying the nipple with a cotton bud just in case there is any water lodged in there.
Don't forget that oil floats on water so if there is any moisture in the bore it will be trapped under the oil. The bore must be perfectly dry.
There is no reason why you cannot use engine oil but you would have to remove it before using the gun. It might be too thick to burn off with a couple of caps and you could get the odd misfire at first if there is any left in the nipple.
Fully synthetic oil I'm not sure about. It is silicon and that can be a pain to remove at the best of times.
