Gun Cleaner

[slimm2]

I have recently got back into reloading and I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a good gun cleaner. I am using lead projectiles

Breakfree CLP for general stuff.
Butch's Bore Shine for any heavy stuff.

Thanks, is there any special bore cleaner that works better on lead fowling in the barrel

I looked for some Breakfree CLP and couldn't find any. Is that being hoarded as well?

I found (and bought) some at Bass Pro in Hanover. Also available from Amazon (need to pay shipping, but no O'Malley Tax)

Has anyone ever tried using Carbuerator cleaner?

Carbuerator Cleaner works ok but you have to be careful on what all it gets on as it can deteriorate some plastics as well as wood had that happen to an old .32 I was working on and it melted the plastic grips. Good thing I was replacing them anyway.

Eezox is really all I use on my guns. Cleans, lubes (dry), and prevents rust better than any other product I've used. Hard to find as it's not a huge company. I get mine off ebay. 4oz lasts me about a year give or take depending on how much I shoot.

Will check out Ebay. Thanks

Blue Wonder for one solvent all-around for me. I like it because it has no lubricant or protectant in it and it literally removes everything including petrols, although if you want an all-in-one, it isn't always the best choice for this reason (I like it because I then use the fluoropolymer lube I want in the quantity I want to reduce fouling).

I know a lot of rifle guys use some of the foaming cleaners such as Wipeout and speak highly of it. And as others have mentioned, CLP-Breakfree is great stuff. And I've heard nothing but praise about Eezox. If it is a gun you do not shoot a lot, there are speciality cleaners/preservatives designed for this purpose that seem to be desirable over other all-in-ones (one is made by CLP-Breakfree people and I've heard it is well worth the money).

I use M-Pro 7. No smell, non-toxic and biodegradable.

For a bore cleaner, I think Wipe-Out is the way to go.

Should be widely available, at least online.
