New Cleaning Products...

Wipe Out has not failed me yet.

There have been other threads and articles on people's favorite cleaners and solvents and I decided to do a checklist and find out which cleaners and solvents were mentioned the most.

First, I use a mixture of Shooters Choice Bore Cleaner and Kroil for my regular cleaning, Shooters Choice Copper Remover for my copper fouling and KG-1 Carbon Remover for my carbon fouling.

But in all the Threads, Forums and Articles on this that I have been keeping a running count on, the most mentioned or favored products are:

For General Cleaning - Wipe Out Foam

For Copper - Bore Tech CU+2

For Carbon - Bore Tech C4

For Hard Fouling -Iosso

Since more people in all of these articles mentioned Bore Tech C4 for carbon and Bore Tech CU+2 for copper I don't know why the Bore Tech Eliminator wasn't mentioned most for general cleaning.

I also thought that J-B would be the top choice for hard fouling but Iosso seemed to have gotten the most mention.

In closing, I had someone the other day ask me why I still use a mixture of Shooters Choice Bore Cleaner and kroil for my general cleaning, that that was "Old School" and "Out Dated" in the face of more modern hi-tech sovents and cleaners. And he is probably right. But I'm just more comfortable using something that has worked for me since the early eighties. It might not be the best general cleaner in the face of all of these new hi-tech cleaners and solvents but it's in my comfort zone.

However I might give Bore Tech a try on stubborn Carbon and Copper.

As far as lubricants go, there was no clear winner as far as most mentioned. I mostly use Pro Gold on my recoil lugs and cocking cam ramp. I do not grease my barrel threads but use a little anti seize instead.

I store my guns / barrels with a very light coat of Kroil in them. Before use, I dry patch to remove the Kroil and then run a very lightly coated patch of Lock-Ez so as not to fire first round on a dry barrel. I could be wrong, and usually am, but I just feel that firing a round on a barrel with Kroil in it could result in an internal hydraulic dent.
