Hi, Right now i'm using hoppe's No.9 power solvent to clean the gas tube, bolt, and barrel. Then I put some rem oil on the parts. No oil in the barrel though. Is there anything better I should be using? |

Hoppe's is a good cleaner, but will smell up the place in a hurry. For a dedicated carbon cleaner, look for Hoppe's Elite, MPro7, or Mil comm MC25. These are water based cleaners and have almost no smell. I have also heard good things about Carbon Killer from SLIP 2000, but I have never used it personally. The #9 that you have should be fine for copper removal when necessary. I would use the Rem Oil for locks, hinges, etc. around the house. Look into FP10, Corrosion X Aviation, or Mil comm products. I always wet patch my bore to ensure corrosion protection/easier cleaning. You don't want it dripping, just a light, even coat. |
