Top Bore Cleaners: What Works Best for You?

[Alan]

I’ve been experimenting with different bore cleaners lately, and I'm looking for recommendations. What do you find effectively removes carbon and copper fouling? Any specific brands or tips you think I should know about?

I use FP-10, it's also distributed by Shooter Choice. Best all around product I have found. Been using it for 20 plus years. Until I found this, I was not a fan of the CLP concept. Used Breakfree in the Corps and never felt it did good anything. My thought pattern was no one takes the same meds for constipation and diarrhea. But it works. At my house it's like Frank's Red Hot , I put that s**t on everything.

Man, I swear by Hoppe's No. 9 for carbon, but Bore Tech eats copper like crazy. Trick is letting it soak a bit, don't rush it, it saves scrubbing time.

When it comes to dealing with carbon fouling, I always find myself reaching for M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner. It’s got a low odor, it’s non-toxic, and the best part is it actually works After a day at the range, I spray it on my semi-autos, and it cuts through all that grimy buildup with barely any effort. I really appreciate that it doesn’t leave that greasy residue that some other cleaners do. Just a solid product all around!
