Just had a thought about it today. Has anyone tried or heard of PBlaster being used? I mean, it breaks away grease and what not and can be used as a lubricant as well. It doesn't eat away at rubber, as far as I can see it there doesn't appear to be any draw backs in using it. Plus a can of it is a couple bucks.

Have you smelled it?

Great for cleaning barrels (gets under lead) and is a good penetrant.

Not a very good powder/carbon cleaner. Not bad, but there are better. And it not that great of a lube either.

It stinks. I can not imagine carrying that reek with me.

Yeah, I have used it plenty of times, mostly for automotive purposes though. It was just a thought, I might still give it a try and see. I can always use CLP to get the rest cleaned up if I am not satisfied.

It's in my gun cleaning arsenal no doubt about it. Try it with a stiff brass brush in gummed up leaded barrel. It's the only thing I ever used that literally broke splotches of lead out.

The best thing I've been using lately is 25% Kroil mixed with 75% Hoppe's #9 - man that cuts the hardest black carbon with ease. Smells better than each alone as well. I cleaned my AK gas area for the first time with this brew. It was nasty in there!!

Thanks, I will give that mix a try. By the sound of it, it sounds like it'd be perfect for cleaning a barrel after using some wolf of other steel cases ammo.

Not bad for some stuff.  Smells like ass.

PB Blaster great for it's initial purpose. Breaking stuff loose, so maybe some to break the nut loose on your AR if your changing the barrel but I use Hoppes to clean my guns and CLP for lubrication.

works as good as anything for dirt and carbon build up but does nothing to cut copper.

Smells like ass, almost as bad as Kroil.

Has it's place, for sure.
