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.

X2 - it's some powerful stuff!
Rubbing alcohol on a brush will remove all of the plastic fouling almost immediately. Follow with hoppes and it's spotless.
Agree Butchs. :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Wipeout is good stuff
Butchs bore shine is fantastic.
Hoppes benchrest gets all the plastic out

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.

I agree i have already order a bottle of Butch's also from Amazon..no one in my area would have it anyway...
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.
Butch's...
