+2. I also like the BoreTech Benchrest Blend and the Copper Remover.The Copper Remover works as fast as the Sweets.The Benchrest Blend works slower but is good for powder and copper fouling much like Butches. I like the Hoppe's #9 for soaking nasty bores like on milsurps etc. for a few days.And for normal light clean ups where a solvent is needed. Especially frosted or pitted bores.Works great if the #9 is allowed to soak. |

Here ya go minsane; A simple and easy to read test in an effort to cut through some of the hype about gun cleaning products. I liked what was posted at the top of his page: Fr. Frog's Rule of Chemicals: There are no magic cleaners nor lubricants. The solvents tested included: Accubore, Barnes CR-10, BreakFree CLP, Butch's Bore Shine, Ed's Red (a home brew), Hoppes #9 (current formula), generic brand household (3%) ammonia, generic brand janitor's strength (10%) ammonia, Kroil, Marksman's Choice MC-7, Marksman's Choice Copper Solvent, ProTech, and Sweets 7.62. These tests were done in 4 parts parts. A copper solvent test, a copper fouling test, a carbon removing test, and a rust test test. While the test conditions may not perfectly simulate a dirty rifle bore they are standardized and repeatable and I believe the results provide a valid comparison of the various products. Gun Cleaning Solvent Tests Based on the test, I'd choose either Barnes CR-10 or Sweets 7.62 |
