After about a half hour of fighting with by B.S. press before I finally used a 3/32nd bit to finish the job.

Aboslutely....I couldn't justifiy buying a 100+ dollar drill press just to drill out this torque....so I used what I already had on hand. It sucked pretty bad using it but in the end it did what I needed it to do.

Nothing I have seen penetrates better than Kroil. It is even better than 3 in 1, Marvel Mystery Oil.

Strong stuff!

Kroil? Have to remember that one, one of the best I have used so far was PB Blaster. Mopar and GM both have pretty good branded rust penetrators. I also like LH Drill Extractors, not sure if they make them small enough for gunsmith work though.

You can get Kroil from Brownells, MidwayUSA, or direct from the Kano factory.

It is a great bore cleaner adjunct as well. There is no comparison between WD-40, Liquid Wrench, etc. and Kroil from
Kano Labs.

Kroil is a creeping oil, it will eat rust crystals, and it will creep into
spaces as tight as 1/1,000,000th of an inch.

There is no equal to Kroil.


"Mfr: KANO LABS

The Oil That Creeps

A lubricating and penetrating oil that flows into the tiniest of crevices, lifts away lead and copper jacket fouling, frees up super-tight barrels, loosens frozen screws and bolts. Dissolves dried grease and oil, displaces water, without harming metal. Works great for getting underneath and loosening built-up carbon, copper and lead fouling in shotgun, rifle and pistol barrels.

SPECS: Kroil Pour Can - 8 fl.oz (237 ml). Kroil Aerosol Can - 13 oz. (385 ml)."

My experience is automotive, 12 years mostly in new car dealerships, so I never heard of Kroil before. I am however always open to trying something that may do a better job. Does the Kroil aerosol foam slightly when applied, and then slowly disappear into the fitting? The automotive penetrators I mentioned (PB Blaster, Mopar Rust Penetrator) that work very well all seem to do that. WD and Liquid Wrench are light lubricants, they don't work very well on rusted or broken fittings. I would actually rather pour some brake fluid on one if those two were all I had on hand.

I have never used the aerosol, just the squirt can. No foam there, sorry.

Had a shooting buddy running a large farm who was using it on his rifles. His gun room is in his shop and he grabbed the Kroil as the closest thing one day when trying to break free a rusted nut. Next day all of the other penetrating oils in the shop were in his trash and he was calling to order more Kroil.

Personally, I have rounded off some shoulders on some nuts and had them come loose after Kroil and a few minutes to sit.

The Kroil, JB Bore Paste, Shooters' Choice, and Sweets' 7.62 are my cleaning chemicals.

HTH.

Have you ever tried mpro7 instead of the shooter's choice? I dont use the shooter's choice any more after buying a gallon of this stuff.

Negative.

I have about 1/2 gallon of the SC left, and a lot of years of using it without regret.

I shot both in the last two days - I vote for the EOTECH, but both are nice.

Used the Aimpoint (Comp ML2) in the past years and was very pleased in its performance.

I used an older model Eo Tech in competition last year and found that i could accuire targets faster with it.

The Eo Tech 551 model is on the buy list at this time..

After seeing the eotech in action on several different weapons in CQB I am kind of split on the two. I was never a fan of it until now. I own 2 aimpoints but an eotech will be on my buy list as well.
