Bore Tech C4 Carbon Remover

[moondog]

This thread got me nervous! I've been using both products for years. I Borescope till clean then put away. I pulled all my rifles out of the safe and Borescoped last nite. Some haven't been shot in over 8 months. I slept well.

I bought some C4. Cleans shot cases well, might be good for cleaning bolts and semi autos, pistols and the like I suppose. It's some kind of soap.

On barrels it doesn't do anything that I can tell. BORETECH ELIMINATOR is all you need for copper and carbon wash, and some kind of abrasive for hard carbon. I use the one of which we dare not speak its name. I love it. Been working like a charm.

I use pro shot carbon remover to clean necks.....it really cleans them in one twist ....
Thinking this may be good for barrel also

You also just made the NSA / FBI / Homeland Security / JTTF watchlists.

Oh, that was a long time ago.

Id bet the rust / whatever has more to do with the ambient humidity / climactic conditions and would have happenned whatever cleaner was used, if no protectant was used.

After cleaning the barrel including the carbon ring in front of the case neck, I always run an oily patch down the bore to try and hold the rust at bay. If you are really picky, you can borrow a bore scope to double check the entire bore. I have a good bore scope but seldom use it.

I've just adopted this same practice. Never had a rust problem b4.... don't want to start now. Got a Vudoo V-22 I use C4 on and it does a great job mainitaining / restoring accuracy, and I want to keep this gun corrosion free ferever. "

Isn’t that a primary ingredient in Ed’s Red?

 

[bigstick6017555]

Ortho Dichlorobenzene, a softening and removing agent for carbon-based contamination on metal surfaces, I am of the understanding that both, transmission fluid, and Marvel Mystery Oil have this in their makeup. Yes ED's Red is based on trans. fluid .

I have had a bottle of Ed’s Red sitting on the shelf for years. Can’t hurt, but also not sure it helps.
