Yup I know it does the job and if the OP wants to use it he should give it a try and see for himself if it does what he wants it to do.If you like it and feel it does the job that’s great.

YUPThese days there is no need to do any guessing about what works, or how long things take. I have one of the very cheapest Teslong bore scopes that cost me all of $55, and it works very well. IMO no one who is serious about accuracy should be without a bore scope, given how cheap they have become.
I clean the same way pretty much w bbs.Butch’s is all I have used for years. This is how I do it and it cleans my barrels up just fine.
Push 2-3 wet patches down the bore and then let it work for about 15 min
Then use a bore brush with some Butch’s on it for 5-8 strokes
Then a dry patch down the bore to push out the fouling
Then 2-3 wet patches and another 15 min
Then a few dry patches to get it all out
Then a couple patches of Kroil and leave for 5-10 min
Then a couple dry patches and done.
Cleans barrels great for me.
Did any of the cleaners actually clean the fouling off?my friend and I did an experiment, I cut an old SS barrel into 4" pieces and then in half long ways, so we were looking at 1/2 the bore 4" long. we emerged part of those pieces completely in various barrel cleaning chemicals for over a month. so part was in the chemicals and part was not. we could never find or see any damage. my redneck experiment left me with the opinion, cleaning solvents are not the enemy, it's more like bad cleaning rods, bad bore guides, bad jags and of course those brushes made with twisted steel. the question is always, how do I get the fouling out with the least amount of damage?
the barrel was clean when we started, my buddy had a flaw in his barrel, he thought it was from cleaning fluids and we wanted to see if we could duplicate the issue and we could not.Did any of the cleaners actually clean the fouling off?
Yep, ThorroClean. Other than that no. Most all of them work great with the exception of the hard carbon in the first few inches imoIs there a liquid that gets the carbon out.? Not that I have found.
BoreTech C4. Not the hard carbon, but the rest of it? Gone......Is there a liquid that gets the carbon out.? Not that I have found.
Yes about all the Boretech and wipeout products leave behind a residue and makes things tacky or gummy.I like BB and I like the foam bore cleaner too. I have Eliminator and it seems to clean well but it seems to get everything gummy? Anyone else get that using Eliminator?
While ThorroClean is in liquid form, it contains abrasives - apparently from Iosso.Yep, ThorroClean. Other than that no. Most all of them work great with the exception of the hard carbon in the first few inches imo

Thanks for clearing that up.......Witches Brew is anouther.....While ThorroClean is in liquid form, it contains abrasives - apparently from Iosso.
Flitz bore cleaner is another cleaner than comes in a liquid form and contains abrasives.
