I just use Birchwood Casey 2in1, because it’s cheap.


Oh CRAP! Nevermind! We need to be careful with starting a tangent on Cleaners & lubricants. Next well have the guy coming talking about the the magical mix of half Mobil 1, half tranny fluid, HALF Chuck Norris piss & the rest in Moly powder. And how it’s the GREATEST-est cleaner, de-EVERYTHING-er solvent & super slick lube they have ever used-and they tried them all already..... only thing they’ve used since 1984 or whatever, ever since they read some in a book from the 70’s or something.

Actually ive been using Wipeout for a few years now. lol
I do actually listen from time to time, just not to everybody about everything.
But i still sprinkle some Hoppes around the camp as needed just for the ambiance, and old times sake.

Yep, without the smell of some Hoppes in the air, it just ain't been cleaned.

I 'found' CLP when the Army adopted it. Only thing that touched the carbon buildup in the 105mm tank gun bore evacuator chamber. I got it for 'free' until I left tanks. Then was shocked at how expensive it was. Started looking for alternatives that worked as well.

Yep, I am cheap about some things. :) When I 'found' Ed Harris' formula I figured I would try it and it works ok. Not the best, but, probably the best for the price :) Then there is CLR, yes, the bathroom cleaner. BUT...I would not use it on a carbon barrel as it might 'eat' it. And it smells horrible and I have to wear gloves to use it. The Ed Harris formula works almost as well for me. Besides, for about $20 I have over a gallon of bore cleaner/oil. The 'bonus' to Ed's formula is the acetone. I shoot a lot of cast bullets that are powder coated. That coating fouls the barrel a bit and makes cleaning a little more difficult. The acetone dissolves that stuff easily so the other ingredients can work on the powder fouling.

FWIW, I like using Hornady One Shot for the guts of my pistols. Works well to get the crud out and leaves a dry film which is nice out here in the desert. But, even more expensive than CLP.

My ace in the whole is 2 parts Lucas transmission fix mixed in with the reds. Better than greased bat guano. I picked up 250 fps

Long time ago there was a guy in the Phoenix area who swore by STP as a way to make his bore more slippery.

One day he had left too much in the bore and had a kaboom moment. Luckily he was not injured, but, the bore split open in front of the chamber.

Sure! STP increased the fps so much the bullet was like a cutting torch. He shouda known.
