Thread: Barrel cleaning

Another vote for KG1. I used to use eliminator, but recently switched. KG1 is harder to work with I have to apply it into the port of the bore guide ahead of a patch or use a brush as it won't soak into a patch it just beads off. It has an evil stink too and it doesn't cause a nice obvious blue colour change like eliminator. However a scrub with KG1 followed by a few patches over a 10-20 minute period, a couple of patches of solvent and then a couple of patches of eliminator and generally not a trace of blue from the eliminator or a worst a very faint hint. With eliminator it was much harder to reach this point.

Now I don't even bother checking with the eliminator

Use M-Pro 7 copper cleaner soak patch wait 5-10 mins, dry patch, repeat process until dry patch comes out clean then run wet patch of inox down barrel to protect. Also use inox on outside of metal work & bolt.
