oilyrag Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Looking for a decent bore cleaner and the Parker Hale stuff crops up now and again, is it worth a try? Would prefer a non aerosol cleaner (less mess) to help remove lead/plastic from around the forcing cones on my Brownings and the PH stuff looks like it fits the bill.

Frenchieboy Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I use 009 and it does a good enough job for my liking! It's clean and easy to use and is quite economical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 PH 009 is an excellent cleaner and cheap,but a bit smelly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 009 is very good, smells nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Depends what you want to clean. Shotgun then by all means use it. Rifles, to remove carbon and copper from centerfire barrels requires more than I believe Parker Hale 009 can give. But a riflebuilder friend uses Hoppes 009 ( same thing ) and Plus GAS ( from your local farm store, like WD40 but stronger) as a mix, he leaves it permanently in the bore and patches out before use only. Don't know what the proportions are but he does not mess about with **** stuff. Maybe I am wrong in my own supposition, either way I am happy with the american products that I use.

oilyrag Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks everyone, will pick some up at the weekend along with some PH gun oil for the semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I use it in both rifle and shotgun. Probably because it smells of pear drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
