Bore-Max Bore Solvent

Works really well. Leaves a mirror finishing those barrels.

In gun solvents it seems you either get carbon removing or copper removing properties but not both. This one does both. Maybe not as good as carbon or copper specific products but works great for me. Doesn’t have a harsh smell and the missus won’t cuss you out for using it in the house. This has been a nice middle ground of aggressive cleaning without being too harsh and making me worried I’m going to ruin my custom barrels. Copper turns blue on the patch. Be sure to use a brush that doesn’t have copper or brass on it or you’ll be chasing your tail wondering why there is still copper fouling. Have bought several bottles and will continue to use.

Over my 30 years of shooting and gunsmithing I've tried every cleaner imaginable. From mild to wild and a few homebrew concoctions in between. Some good at carbon, others good at copper, some too mild and others to harsh. Until now I've yet to find one that cleans both types of fouling quicky, effectively, and safely for my match barrels. I love, love, love this solvent! Doesn't smell, cleans incredibly, and my barrels look perfect. Typically takes me 10-15 patches and about a 15 minute soak. Last patch comes out spotless. Bore scope confirms the barrel is exceptionally clean. I absolutely recommend this solvent ! I only use a brush (nylon not bronze) if the barrel is prone to bad fouling or really dirty. 5-10 passes tops. Most of the barrels I used to need to brush have no longer needed it with this solvent. Aa with any good solvent it'll go after your rods & jags if left on so follow good barrel hygiene and wipe them off after each pass and when done cleaning.

I did not buy this product on Amazon. I bought it at a local outdoors shop. It cleans well, and it does remove copper and other fouling pretty good as well. It does take time to work, as all copper removers do. It does not have a strong smell. The smell is faint, and should not bother you (however, do use it in a well ventilated space). It is, however, not Sweets 762 copper remover. So do not expect fast results. It may take a few applications depending on how bad the fouling is. It does work at removing carbon, lead, and copper fouling. For the smell, I think it's a good trade off for the price. Will keep using and will continue to purchase as needed.

I'm not very experienced in the art of cleaning guns, as I only take my pistol to the range occasionally to practice. Was using a Hoppes kit I bought here. I noticed the bore still had a good bit of gunk on the inside even after some thorough brushing and cleaning with their solvent. I ran a patch down the bore with this stuff and took so much gunk out that even 5 or 6 cleanings in a row could not remove with Hoppes. Plus my office doesnt have that harsh solvent smell Hoppes brings. Very happy with this cleaner.

This is the best i ever found to clean barrels. Use a solvent mop and wet it for your caliber. Never seen a CM barrel clean this well

Cleans great low odor

I use this when my barrel is really dirty. I apply this on a wet cleaning patch and let it sit for 15 or 20 minutes. Then I run some dry patches through the barrel until they come out clean.
