Thread: Barrel cleaning

+1 KG was way better and faster than elimnator and when all else fails get some JBs bore paste on the job.
I found this out when my trg was fouling when new.i now give the barrel a good JBing before i fire any shots through a new barrel whic makes barrel breakin virtually non existent.

Kroil on carbon, M pro 7 on copper, Slip 2000 EWL to protect the bore

Another vote for KG1. I used to use eliminator, but recently switched. KG1 is harder to work with I have to apply it into the port of the bore guide ahead of a patch or use a brush as it won't soak into a patch it just beads off. It has an evil stink too and it doesn't cause a nice obvious blue colour change like eliminator. However a scrub with KG1 followed by a few patches over a 10-20 minute period, a couple of patches of solvent and then a couple of patches of eliminator and generally not a trace of blue from the eliminator or a worst a very faint hint. With eliminator it was much harder to reach this point.

Now I don't even bother checking with the eliminator

Use M-Pro 7 copper cleaner soak patch wait 5-10 mins, dry patch, repeat process until dry patch comes out clean then run wet patch of inox down barrel to protect. Also use inox on outside of metal work & bolt.
