LLRukus Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I've been told using Dillon case lube in an open comp will help prevent accumulation of lead and burnt powder. it this the best to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I found it didn’t really prevent buildup as much as it made it easier to remove. But I always forgot to spray before shooting so now I just bead Blast it out a few times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalRex Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Ive found that Bore Tech C4 Carbon Remover does a great job of taking care of the buildup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Sure everyone has their "recipe". Last match I sprayed the comp with some of Klutchs Mag Slick. Then soaked it in KG Carbon remover after the match. Cleaned up nicely. I just plan on doing it more often instead of waiting for the crud to build up.

Sarge Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Do these strong chemicals affect loctite on comp threads? Does it spread? I would only stand the barrel on its nose and add comp cleaner to below barrel crown. I have had too many problems in the past with loose comps.

DWFAN Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I just found that using a Anti-Spatter spray (used for welding) works really well. The Boretech is another great option. It goes to town on Carbon. I never was good about spraying with Dillon spray enough to help. Hopefully I'll keep up with the Anti-spatter, or it will work a little longer between applications.

Jeremyc_1999 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 do you use the anit-spatter spray prior to shooting or as a clean up procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I soak it in a little container. It’s not a breeze but easier than anything else I’ve tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggMike Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I normally use Hornady One Shot or Dillon case lube every 100 hundred rounds. I also will soak it in Hoppes when I clean my gun. It makes it easier to clean for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digi531 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hello, I suggested this before on the forum. I bought a nice electric engraver relatively cheap on Amazon. Then I used a small screwdriver blade and rounded off the corners, then cut it to length and installed it. Talk about a time saver without all the heavy scraping like I use to with the Arredondo comp scraper. Also, you can set the engraver speed to where it works best and its like using a miniature jack hammer. However, be careful when using near the muzzle crown.

rlrock Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I’ve soaked mine in a mixture of 1 part lanolin to 10 parts 99% rubbing alcohol and let it sit overnight. Then I use a pick to get the carbon out. I’m not a fan of how long it takes to clean off the lanolin, though.

Use a nail or scribe tip instead of the harder engraving tip and it works like a miniature jackhammer. Way faster than any solvent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honkeymcgee Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Think I posted it in another similar topic but 3n38 has kept my comp spotless. In fact it blew all the crud out from when I used faster powders. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy69 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Coat your comp with weapon shield when it's brand new. If already shot, spray it down, leave it sit for a day, then go "shoot it out". The comp will clean up then recoat it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the solvent or the CLP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy69 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Use the solvent, it has some lube in it. The solvent is also great if you sonicate parts with it. If it's already dirty, use the solvent. But if you ave a band new comp, coat it with the oil first. It will put a protective coating on it. Apply every now and again.
