| I use bore-tech's eliminator and gun oil on all my guns and was wondering if there was anything better out there to use? Or will these products work fine? |

What type of patches do you use? My patches come out nice and blue also. The eliminator does do a pretty good job of cleaning my ARs'. That being said, my ARs' have to be the easiest rifles that I've ever own to get the barrels squeaky clean. When it gets my AK's barrel squeaky clean that's when it will pass the test! I just haven't got around to cleaning the AK yet!!

| The patches I use are made by sagebrush, and are double napped made of 100% cotton flannel. I purchased them at cabelas in hamburg. As for cleaning my AK's It seems to take a little more work to get the barrel clean. But then I only shoot the cheap wolf ammo out of it, because it's only a romanian AK. That ammo seems to be much dirtier than brass cased ammo. |

I tried using Boretech for the last 5 months, and while it does get things clean, it's a big hassle because it eats away at brass jags and brushes. If you use any standard brass jag or brush, or say a pull-through kit like Otis to clean an AR or Mini-14 or 10-22, it's really annoying because the Boretech keeps turning the patches blue even when there's nothing left in the gun, as it attacks the brass. I think it's a good solvent, but there are solvents that clean just as well or better, and have the added feature that they don't attach your brass attachments. The best thing I've found is Mpro-7 gun cleaner, also marketed as Hoppes Elite Gun cleaner. ***Please note very carefully: this is ONLY a cleaner, it'll take your gun down to bare metal, and you MUST lubricate the gun with a good lubricating/protecting type of solution such as CLP, Ballistol, CorrosionX, Eezox, or Mpro-7's own CLP product after using their cleaner. |
