Coated rod or stainless? Which cleaning solvent? Do you use a bore guide? Brass bore brush? Any particular brand? Protective finish? Oil preference?
Just interested in other's methods. Montana extreme rod " solvent Yes Yes or no, depends. Like bore tech proof positive (and jags) Eezox Otis oil, Brownells action grease.

I now only use nylon brushes - last longer than the bronze bristle and seem to clean just as well.
Hoppes No.9 and Sweets 7.62 used to work for me for many years (Hoppes for the powder fouling and Sweets for the copper) but I shoot big bores more often these days and they are all chronic copper foulers. I've experimented a little and have settled on using BoreTech Eliminator - does the job on both powder and copper fouling and has cut my cleaning time in half.
I've heard Wipeout is also very good but I haven't been able to find any on the shelves in my neck of the woods.
Sometimes I have to use Leadaway patches for any lead fouling when I mess around with cast projectiles. Choirboys copper wool hase been recommended to me for lead removal, but I couldn't find that here either.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

To the guys who use Eezox, I have some questions. Do you use it inside and out? The maker's website states that it is not compatible with petroleum-based products, so do you use anything else to lubricate the bolt lugs (I've always used a dab of Shooters Choice grease)? What is your bore cleaning procedure? I bought two cans, have treated my M77 inside and out as per Eezox instructions, but haven't fired it since, and have these nagging questions. Appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks.
Jeff

Just tried some "Wipe Out" this week. Pretty good stuff. Might shave with it.

Jeff I use it in anywhere I might've used oil before, but want it to 1.)provide longer corrosion protection and 2.)want the thinnest film. So, bolts, bore after cleaning, all exterior bits, trigger group if feeling brave, etc. As I understand it, it's not that it's "incompatible" with other products so much as it will creep under/lift/dissolve them. I still use dab of grease on lugs. Haven't used it for bore cleaning by itself.

Use Barsness' method of cleaning to bare metal. Dyna-Bore coat. Cure. Clean with Hoppes and a copper solvent. Shoot moly. Worry about cleaning again in a few years.
