I am thinking of picking up some BreakFree Carbon Cutter for the purpose of carbon removal on my ARs and AKs.
Does anyone use it and if so, how effective is it? |
|
I have never used it but Breakfree is a ok Company so I don't see how they would sell something that did not do a fairly good job.
Now my lawnmower repair guy who is a really smart guy, gave me a 8oz plastic bottle of STIHL Engine De-Carbonizer P/N 0781-313-8018 and I have soaked my bolt in it and it really makes the burnt on carbon easy to scrape off.

Being that I am a newbee to the whole gun game specifically the ar15, I had no clue what the best to use was so...I called the manufacturer. The folks over at Bushmaster say to go with Brakefree for the cleaner and then Remington rem oil for the lubricant. Well you can get many answers to what to use. Breakfree CLP works takes a while. I like the Stihl DeCarb. it works. I use this for Lub.http://www.corrosionx.com Be sure to use quality .223 bronze bore brushs and get a good quality AR chamber brush. I also always use a AR chamber guide and .223 Jags with .22 cotton patchs

Yes I use it, and yes it works fine. ahn- Thanks for answering the original question posed above. I am really interested in finding out about its effectiveness on baked on/burnt on carbon residue.
I plan on using this not only on my ARs, but also on my AKs as well so it will see use on very light (in the case of the ARs) to rather heavy (in the case of the AKs) carbon deposits. If you don't mind, could you elaborate further as to how quickly this stuff works and if it requires a little "elbow grease" or no? Is it necessary to soak only for just a few minutes or must the part to be cleaned be immersed in the solution overnight to do the job? Is scrubbing with a brass brush required or does it just dissolve the carbon so that it can be wiped off with a rag? Thanks. Regards, TK |
