Title: What is the best Gun cleaner preserver?
Post by: Galpster on November 08, 2009, 01:30:15 PM: I use Break Free because it does everything in one. I would be interested what everyone else uses and to hear the argument to persuade the rest of us to use the product as well.

My vote is for Break Free because of the standards the company holds and it is used by all our military.

Post by: Al Bundy on November 08, 2009, 05:16:35 PM: I use Hoppes Elite for cleaning. It seems to get stuff Hoppes #9 doesn't. After it's clean, I run a mop with a few drops of Remoil on it down the bore a few times.

I lucked out the other day at Kmart. They have all their hunting stuff on clearance markdown. The little 2 oz. spray bottles of Hoppes Elite were marked down from $7.29 each to $.70 each. I grabbed the last three bottles.

For the wood on my rifles, I use Howard Feed and Wax. Works great and it smells like oranges.

Post by: Dadbear on November 09, 2009, 12:54:26 PM: Eezox for all, but I start with a heavier-duty cleaner for black powder, then finish it off with eezox.

Post by: Jamieb on November 09, 2009, 04:18:43 PM: For a light cleaning to get out carbon, a kroil patch. If I'm trying to clean to bare metal then I start with a couple of lightly coated kroil patches then a couple of patches of CR-10, then a treatment of wipe out. After the wipe out sits in the bbl for around 20 min's then a dry patch followed with CR-10 to check for copper, if there's still copper in the bbl then another wipe out. If the bbl is clean then a dry patch and finally a patch of kroil.
