I wouldn't completely bag CRC. A blast down the barrel and then the firearm stored barrel down will help preserve until a more methodical clean can occur. This better than no action at all.
CRC Marine and Long Life are great products you just don't have to drench your gun in them.

Most gun oils/solvents will attack wooden stock finishes. That's why I'm now trying Frog Lube.

Tried to repatriate a mates gun that had "gone off" accuracy wise. The bedding was totalled. Saturated in whatever gun oil he used. A lot of it had found its way down the king screw into the bedding.

ya dead right Zimmer better than nothing break free is great for that out in the scrub- its just that much more thicker than CRC and can come in a very small bottle
