Anybody else using these cleaning products

[deadidarren]

G'day all I know asking for cleaning advise has been done to death , however this is not one of those threads.
I seen these here in Australia figured I would give it a go I have both their bronze impregnated felt and their standard felts I have only used the felts for applying solvent for soaks and oil for storage fantastic for that .
I am very hesitant on using the abrasive ones on a good barrel as yet so have not used one apparently they are bronze impregnated they are very abrasive to the touch .



Cheers Darren

Been using them for years. Best thing since sliced bread and handier than a pocket on a shirt.

I have not used the ones with bronze flecks in them. I do use the standard felts for all my rifles from .22 to .338 as well as my 9mm and .40 caliber pistols. If you need a bore cleaned well, these felts and JB bore paste work amazingly well. Apply a little Kroil on the felts then apply a coating of JB and you will get amazing results. It polishes out the copper and carbon better than anything else I have tried. I got a felt holder from Brownells that will hold 2 felts on the tip at a time:

084-000-019WB
VFG 3 PELLET ADAPTER 22 CALIBER 8-32
Mfr Part: 200140-3

or

084-000-020WB
VFG 3 PELLET ADAPTER 30 CALIBER 8-32
Mfr Part: 200140

I get my VFG felts from a guy in Canada via ebay - he had the best prices and selection. I don't know if he still sells them - I just did a Google search.

I highly recommend this system if you want a very clean barrel.

As you can see in the pic i also have the bronze infused Feltz I just think they are too abrasive but as for the ordinary felt would not hesitate to put it in with CLP and JB paste for my long rifles not a problem .
I keep hearing about this Kroil , people using it for everything from firearms to leather I have never been one of those people who think there is any such thing as a product that does everything CLP only use that for rust prevention is coil worth buying ?

I'm not sure if it anything noticeably better than CLP. I use it because I saw a video on how to use the felts with JB bore paste - they used Kroil. I did try using Ballistol once and it didn't seem to work nearly as well as Kroil, so I just keep using Kroil.

I have used boxes full of the green bronze felts without any issues. Combined with some CLR it knocks carbon out in no time

I have been using both types of the .22 cal. and 6mm pellets for quite a while now.

I am very satisfied with them but sometimes it is hard to find them in stock.
I try to buy the 500ct. when I can find them.

I originally bought the pellets as a standalone cleaning system, but never got around to a complete switchover. I now use them solely for abrasive cleaning.

I've used Iosso on the felts 3 ways: alone, and having soaked the felts with Kroil and Eezox (separately, not together.)

I didn't really notice a difference between the three, though my sampling was admittedly small.

I have the "intense" cleaning pellets, but haven't used them at all.
