Title: Best Bore Cleaner?
Post by: BDeal on February 02, 2018, 03:24:15 PM
Curious as to what people are using for cleaning their barrels?

Thanks!

For just regular cleaning gun oil, patches or bore snake ... we are talking about shotguns ...?

I have always used just hoppes to clean barrel and last year I tried butches bore shine and will never use anything else. I was blown away when I ran a patch soaked in butches down the barrel. It had globs of black plastic and residue on it. Nothing has ever come close to removing everything from the barrel.

Rubbing alcohol on a brush will remove all of the plastic fouling almost immediately. Follow with hoppes and it's spotless.

I agree, been doing the above for years. However, I will pick up some butche's this week to try. I'm curious. Just as I'm curious about all the plastic everyone has in their barrels. I have never seen big globs of plastic in any of my barrels. I did see some streaks in the barrel once that came right out with Hoppe's solvent. I even deep cleaned once to get all those microscopic particals out - never did see any improvement.

Soak a few patches hooked to a cleaning rod and slowly spin it from one end to other. Not back and forth. It'll amaze u. Butches is great stuff. Use outside tho. The better half will kick u out if u open it inside.
