All round bore cleaner recommendations

[Stalker-of-the-deer]

Boretech, it's the best I've used and it doesn't stink or melt anything its not supposed to touch!

KG112

It doesn't touch copper.

Yes it will but not aggressive. Overnight soaks and the green on the patch told the story.

my go-to cleaner

 

[safer]

I used Balistoll for a long time with occasional KG12 de-copperisation but I have switched to Boretec Eliminator and light coating of Boretec Friction Guard for storage,
Balistoll is very useful lubricant and protector.
Note: If you are switching to Eliminator you can't use any tools that containe brass, copper or bronze so you will have to buy all new brushes, jags and mops.

Boar Tech ! absolutely the best cleaning range and safer to use than many others

Do you use that to clean pigs, I thought we were talking about rifles???

Forrest bore foam for me. But ignore the instructions and leave it in overnight.

And before you squirt it into the bore put a plastic bag over the muzzle secured with an elastic band.
I A friend didn't do this and my his other half went ballistic because it allegedly clearly leaves stains on walls that have been painted with emulsion.

Just spray it carefully into the bin and wait for it to ooze from the muzzle before pulling the nozzle out. Never had a problem with it.

I don't use it anymore.
I have what is left of a can in the cupboard which is years old but have been using Wipeout since it was introduced in the UK and subsequently Tactical Advantage.
I get better results and it's less messy.

used it quite awhile in the past and agree but i would not put it in the same class as the boar tech range of dedicated cleaners

 

[308tikka]

Boretech eliminator

Butchs bore shine

 

[stevec]

I use Forrest foam (hanging the muzzle over the loo), then patch out, followed by Ballistol on a Phosphor Bronze brush and more patches. Seems to work well and doesn’t take long

 

[nowler]

Oven Pride and Cillit Bang for me.

Oven Pride and Cillit Bang for me.

Valve seating paste for when it’s really stubborn.

 

[JockStalk]

If it’s

Valve seating paste for when it’s really stubborn.

If it’s really stubborn I just use even more Forrest foam

 

[trickie]

I use Bore tech and Ballistol. Centre fire and Rimfire/airguns.

My wife says the Ballistol smells like cat pee, don’t know about that as I’ve been using it for about 6 years and the smell is no loner offensive

 

[BenBhoy]

You can only poke it in from one end.

Incorrect, you've led a sheltered life

Currently use boretech for the majority of the fouling. Finish off with Kroil + JB bore paste using VFG felts.
