Thread: How to clean out hardened hoppes no 9

Hey guys,
My bolt lock (that keeps the bolt in the rifle) started failing on the Remmy recently as its become a bit gunked up with that hoppes solvent. I've stripped the thing down and have been scrubbing with a wire brush and rubbing with CRC on cotton buds to try to get it off but it's not doing the job well enough.

Anyone got any experience with getting this crap off your gun?

It's been very gradual as it's from years of cleaning. Serves me right for being a slack bastard and not using my bore protector which would have not let this happen. The pic doesn't show it very well (too dark).
