MJR Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I've just about run out of my original bottle of 009 which i've had for years. I use it to patch out the crud prior to using G96 copper remover. I'm looking for a good alternative so what do you use and can recommend? Thanks.

That bald headed Geordie Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi, I currently use Butches Boreshine and it seems to work ok. I check the barrel with a borescope and no copper remains after cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finman Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 There's only one cleaner as far as I'm concerned: KG. no1 and no. 12. Nothing I know of comes even close. I'll go and get my helmet now...  Best wishes  Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've just got both of these in as they're very much in vogue with the (serious) "NZ Hunter" magazine crew. These guys spend their whole life shooting (and cleaning) guns and aren't afraid to experiment. KG12 they reckon is the bees kneez for copper. Â I still have to get my head round the need to flush out KG1 with basically an evaporating solvent. No biggie I guess. Key thing with that stuff is to scrub the bore with a nylon brush as it requires mechanical action to do its job. Â Chris-NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I use riflecrafts stuff and have found it excellent, however I think that it is re branded bore tec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratwhiskers Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Spit n sand and a length of rusty wire..... Â But if all else fails, 2 pack Wipe Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Another one for Wipe out. Â I like the soapy feel to Wipe out, you just know it's going to stick. I have some accelerator and carbon remover on order. Â Not to sure about KG12, I know it works but without a borescope there's no way of knowing. I like to see blue on my patches (well I prefer not too, but you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyt Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ive used carbout for carbon remover for a few years and it does what it says on the tin, I use it every 250 rounds or so, in between i use bore tech for copper remover as well. Â Looking on some of the US sites the bench rest boys are useing allsorts of stuff even brake pipe cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well I have tried every sort of copper remover on this planet and can safely say the only way that I have found to work 100% is to get my ex wife to look down the barrel. One withering stare from her would make anything shrivel up and die! Now if there is anyway I could bottle it I would make my millions!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICK Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Montana Extreme. Best solvent i have used in 28 years of shooting. If Copper fouling is really severe they do a Copper Killer too. It is wicked stuff and according to the Manufacturer is totally Barrel safe. Â Nick. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have tried numerous different copper and carbon cleaners over the years and I am sure they have all been toned down. I do wonder how something that has no odour and apparently is not harmful to the environment is supposed to remove copper. These days I alternate between two types and like bore foam as a starter, give it a spray up the bore and pack my gear away whilst it does it's work then repeat and finish with KG.
