I remove the brake, the crown cleanes up with just a rag wet with tactical advantage, sometimes a little elbow grease, but no brushes. I drizzle some tactical advantage in and around the brake ports and let it set. After a bit I use a nylon brush and clean the black goo out of it...cleans up great! Actually pretty crazy to watch.

What about the barrel ? That others is cosmetic means very little as far as shooting i'm more interested in how long and hard it is to do the barrel. I need something that can clean between relays not soak for hours or over night. With warthog it is clean in 10 minutes but due to hazmat i can't get it anymore. Everything else i tried is just utter BS. and it doesn't work any better than plan old Hoppes and you need Iosso in the end……. jim

I'm cleaning about every 200 rounds and what i've learned is that you need to let the chemical sit in the barrel for about an hour then I start my swabbing. Seems to work great. I personally think that most all the commercial bore cleaners are sufficient, you simply need to let them soak in to the carbon for a period of time rather than a quick wet and swab of your barrel. (strictly just my conversational opinion)

Hey Jim,
I do wish I could answer your question. I just have no way of telling you without a borescope. I do know that none of my other miracle gun cleaning products will melt the visible carbon like this stuff....I can only AssUMe after that...... it's a $15 experiment.
Good Luck and Keep your powder dry.
Happy New Year Everyone
