Oh Crap...No more MP-5

You might also consider "Frog Lube". Better corrosion protection than Ballistol, probably cleans about the same. I rejected it for my powder-burners (because it wasn't a great cleaner, and it's incompatible with petroleum-based solvents that I find necessary to get those clean) but it recently struck me that it might be great for airguns.

MP5 is about the same as Birchwood Casey Sheath.

I use CLP on all my guns powder and air

I am glad I bought myself one for Christmas. I have been using it since the 1980s. No rust ever.

Frog lube is unbelievable as a rust preventer.
This is a picture of 46 products tested. I would only put 3 of these on anything I want to protect. Each has their own pro's and con's.
Frog lube has a pleasant minty smell and is completely non toxic.

I believe so, I am obsolete! They change the name on products too much.

I use Ballistol on all my airguns only. I use Hoppes #9, CLP, and Rem Oil on all my powder burning guns.

+1 for Ballistol. I still have some MP-5 but it's buried in my gun cleaning stuff and I never think to use it.

That test prompted me to try the Hornady One Shot and the WD40 Specialist Rust Inhibitor. Both are excellent products that work. I use the WD40 Inhibitor on all blued steel gun surfaces. The One Shot is a little difficult to use on large surfaces as it is an aerosol product with a fast evaporating base but it is excellent for places like trigger groups. It flushes out old gunk and leaves a film lube and corrosion inhibitor behind. Works great on my pocket knife collection too.

Has anyone ever tried G96?
