I have some rust on the muzzle thread of my sako 85, what is the best way to clean the rust without damaging the threads. Cheers Jack

Hi all Looking for advice on the best way to clean and maintain a non strippable moderator. My strippable Wildcat for the rimfire is easy, take apart, drop in ultrasonic, dry, tiny bit of grease on threads and o-rings, reassemble & store. Being anodised aluminium, the diffuser isn't going to...

I bought a S/H tikka .223 yesterday and was going to clean it today after a borescope shown lots of carbon build up. I purchased Parker hale rod and the bisley jag to fit both in .22. I used Parker hale .22 patches but I couldn’t for the life of me get the patches through. I tried dry, wet and...

Hi All, I’ve heard some people say that Brunox Turbo Gun Care spray can be used to clean barrels and won’t affect point of impact / zero. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? Are the claims true?

Hi All, Forgive me for the silly question, but I’ve recently bought a Tetra Pro Smith Jag (Tetra ProSmith Rifle Brass Jag) and some Tetra Pro Smith Cleaning patches (Tetra ProSmith Cleaning Patches) . However, the patches don’t fit down the barrel of my rifle when attached to the jag…. Am I...

Hi All, I have a Game Larder which is basically the back of a 7.5 tonne lorry with a Checker Plate (assumed) aluminium floor. I have given the floor a good power was but cant seem to get it very clean, there are a lot of marks on it and its quite dull etc.. Before I spend an entire day on my...

Hi all, Just a quick recommendation for Norman Clark gunsmiths of Rugby. They have Dewey made Parker Hale Jags that will fit your U.S threaded (Pro-Shot etc.) rods. Could not find these anywhere else! Most of the American ELR shooters and some barrel manufacturers recommend the Parker Hale...

Hi All, Apologies if this has been asked before, I have just purchased a set of reloading gear, and the Hornady dies I have bought recommend that they are cleaned before use to remove the anti rust coatings put on at the factory. This seems logical, but I don't fancy buying the recommended...

Hi all, I am wanting to know if there is a top tip on which barrel cleaner to use for removing carbon deposits and copper fouling in my .243 Tikka? I bore snake usually after every outing and recently wanted to clean my barrel as my groupings arent the best recently. Ive been told a decent 1...

As a novice I would like some advice on rifle cleaning. I have on advice bought a bore snake for my 6.5x55 and my 17HMR My question is should I apply some gun oil to the barrel before cleaning or some on the snake or not at all. Also I would assume you pull the snake from the chamber to the...

I bought a browning xbolt in .243 last year (I've had a lot of problems with it!) - the latest was an inability to shoot a decent group... which I eventually worked out was due to the rifle being clean!!! I was told to always clean my .243 after shooting - I'm a deer stalker so it's all about...

Since I was doing a couple of heads I thought I'd take the opportunity to take some photos of the process. As always, this is just the way I do it, there are plenty of folks on here who have been doing it a lot better and longer than me, so please chip in with suggestions etc. if you know a...

I've got these on my two rimfires and .243 - the new one's are a sealed unit (non-strippable) - I've been using a squirt of WD40 but when I look inside the mods they're still pretty full up with gunk! I've heard of washing them with petrol (then drying them out), or using hot soapy water (then...
