WHAT? I have Butch's, but I also have at least 17 other bore cleaners. I thought it took an entire array of chemicals and mystery juice to be considered a real rifleman. Otherwise, visitors to your gun room will think you're a FNG, and who wants that?

I rotate through my collection, often using three or four different kinds each time I clean a gun in a desperate search to find Nirvana.

I'm not sure if all of them actually work or none of them. Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?

Mozilla,
Are you saying everyone that uses Butch's is a FNG?
Inquiring minds want to know,

Boretech Eliminator.

Definitely the Best (easiest and quickest) that I have used. That list includes everything mentioned so far.

You know I have kind of gone full circle and ended up back at Hoppe's #9. Its cheap and it is mild enough to not harm finishes or steel, and it leaves a nice oil film behind. I think Butches is my favorite, but it seems to loose its effectiveness after being opened. Seems like when the bottle is new its the best, when its about 1/2 gone its sucks. Anyone else notice that?

Ive noticed when i put it in a squeeze bottle and forget it that it gets thicker after a few years but in the glass it seems to work good over time

When I first started using Butches it was red. Sometime a few years ago they changed something and now it's clear. I found an old (red) bottle that I misplaced and it worked better than the clear. I wish all solvents smelled like Hoppes. I've been using Pro Shot copper solvent IV for a few years now. Seems to work ok.

Yep! Regular and the Hoppes BR both die at a half bottle. If it's not clean after a few patches and some brushing I let it soak overnight with Hoppes BR. Never had any carbon problems after soaking overnight with Hoppes every now and then. Still good stuff.
