Your Preference For A Copper Remover?

[McStocks]

Besides Sweet's, what do you think is the best copper remover?

Thanks!

I use Bore Tech Copper Remover. I used to use Outers Foaming Bore Cleaner that was very effective on copper deposits, but it was discontinued.

Montana BMG Copper Remover works great and is safe to leave in bore for days with harm. I use it and Sharp Shoot R wipeout and the accellator too. Excellent product. Just wipe bore with the accellator and then the wipeout let sit over night most times it is free of all copper. If you still have copper repeat process until all copper is gone. Works really well. These are all I use now.

I tested all of the chemicals that are supposedly the best copper removers in a head-to-head test. And nothing out performed Bore Tech Eliminator. Including Montana BMG which will probably kill you if you inhale it

Wouldn't boretech CU+2 COPPER REMOVER better than Eliminator for copper?

Boretech eliminator hands down

I haven't tried the Eliminator product, but the copper specific remover works fantastic as does the carbon remover.

I think it is the same stuff. I just use Eliminator. One and done.

Either way BORETECH.

I've noticed I need to rotate between boretech copper remover and free all to get it out

Just use Eliminator and go to Flitz Barrel Cleaner. Life is short.

I've had really good luck with pro shot and my wife appreciates not having the bad smells of others.

What is wrong with white ammonia?

Patch Out and a brush works for me.

I've got a shelf with about a dozen "dedicated" copper removers and the one that I keep using is the regular Bore tech eliminator. IMO the regular Eliminator works better on copper than Boretech's Cu2 copper remover.
Boretech's C4 carbon remover is my first step for carbon and it's another product for which I have yet to find an equal.
I follow up the C4 with the Eliminator to take out any copper.

Same here, I've been using KG for years and according to the bore scope it works really well.
KG-1 for carbon removal, KG-12 copper removal and finish off with a light coat of oil.

I've used a lot of other cleaners but the KG works the best for me.

It's not that bad have use a lot of quarts with great results. I sniff it every time to see if I am alive and well.

Butch, I've heard this before but have always been leery of it. Could you please share your knowledge and experience with it?

I never found anything that removes carbon including KG products. Nothing except scrubbing with JB, Borebrite or some other abrasive is the only to get it out!!!! KG Doesn't remove any carbon. Period have a couple of bottles still sitting on the bench and long with other stuff that's supposed to remove carbon.

Boretech doesn’t do anything to the copper I see. I use Iosso to get the copper AND carbon out. I check cleaning with a bore scope to verify, not patch color.
