    How long has/does the gun sit? My experience has been that a gun still needs attention when unused.

    Other experts sound chime in shortly.

    I like Hoppe's for bore cleaning, Remington wipes for between cleanings, and QMaxx products for a complete tear-down.

    Kriegoff International (purveyors of Kriegoff shotguns) carries the QMaxx line. If the folks that sell 10K-to-start shotguns recommends, its good enough for me.

    A note about the QMaxx, the degreaser is really strong and leaves no protective film layer. If you use it, oil/coat immediately.

    To clarify, the degreaser I use is Slip 2000, not a QMaxx product.

    wipe it down with an oily patch and you're good to go. It's a Glock.

    I love my Hoppes No. 9 air fresheners. I hope this helps you get your problem solved.

    Mobile One or CLP. But that's because I have it laying around. And looking at the images from OP, WTF man!?!? If your gun looks like a homeless person's ears, you are doing it wrong.

    M Pro-7 for regular cleaning. Hoppes Black Step 3 red oil which also smells good is meant to endure high heat AR cycles but works well on handguns also. Barnes CR-10 for barrels that have caked up carbon works wonders. It's a copper de-fouling agent so be careful with it but the barrel will look brand new

    For lubrication I'm partial to Rem oil. Use sparingly, as you should all lubricants.

    From those pictures and my own experience, it appears that too much lubricant may have been used. The gun was shot a few times and re-oiled without being cleaned and put away and forgotten about.

    Just my .o2cents
