GIO Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I had to dump all of my cleaning supplies due to a move and I need to re-buy my supply. Thought it would be a good time to try new things. I shoot Pistol/Rifle/Shotgun. Standard Calibers .223/308 12ga .45 .357/38 and .22 What is the ticket for Bore cleaning, Lube, general cleaning, etc. What is everybody using these days? Thanks for the info, hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 You know, I have tried a few things over the years. I still just use Hoppe's #9 solvent ($3.00)and their aluminum rods($5.00). All I clean at the present is pistol so things might be different for long guns. I was having troube getting moly residue out of my barrel but soaking it longer, as recommended by shooters here, took care of that. And I use gunscrubber spray and an air compressor to clean out the guts. I looked at the Dewey stuff and some others that was much more expensive but I just could not justify the cost.

rider82 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I'm with gb32 on this topic. Dewey Rods, Pro Shot patches, and Butch's Bore Shine. I use FP-10, as well as other lubes, don't really have a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I don't really clean bores anymore --- I do keep boresnakes on hand for an occasional pass down the tube..... Other than that, shop rags, toothbrushes, Q-tips, and chamber brushes and a bolt lug recess cleaning tool for the AR are about all I need. Using Mobil 1 on the 1100 makes cleaning a wipe-down process. Using Slide-Glide on pistols and rifles does pretty much the same.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
