Favorite/most successful Bore cleaners.

Powder solvents, Copper solvents, foams, sprays, the works.

What works best for you guys. I especially want to hear stories from guys who have used multiple products with different results.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I prefer a Boresnake with Gunzilla gun cleaner. I use them for my .22 rifle, .30-06, and my 9mm pistol. :tup:

Hard to beat Wipeout for ease of use and effectiveness.

Using hoppe's on my personal guns. For machine guns I've never been happier than with miltec and lsa-t mixed until it looks like... um... in the rapper genre, it looks like skeet.

Truth of the matters is, no joke. There is a point in my expirience when a barrel is over cleaned. I try to do the deep scrubbing as little as possible.

From the reviews using the foul out if you get certain things indicating barrel rust you have to stop and take care of it or it will pull metal from your barrel. Aside from that, the foul out seems to be the absolute most gentle removal on the market. I have no desire to pay that much but it is probably something a gunsmith should have on hand if I wanted one to clean my guns that are difficult to reach into most spaces with anything other than a q-tip.
