Underdog Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Penno oils in aerosols like wd40 work good, try to keep it out the action and wood though. U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Any of the barrel cleaners. If it gets really bad - stand the barrels upright in the sink, on a cloth, to plug up one end. Pour boiling water down the barrels - obviously carefully. Leave for 30 seconds - pour out and dry the barrels. Spray WD40 or similar down the barrel and over the outside - ejectors etc. I blow my with an air compressor gun. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 If you have the problem of fouling from the forcing cone to about 10" up the barrel you could try my simple method. Drop the string of a boresnake down the barrel and wrap the end of the string once around your foot. lift the barrel upwards until the wire brush section is in the chamber, pull the free end of the boresnake upwards with your free hand. Now lift the barrel up and down the boresnake like you're watching Pamela Andersons home movies, for about 3 minutes. Job done, barrel sparkly, arm a bit tired.

ChrisAsh Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Bizley bore cleaner about £7.00 per tin,I just pull through with brush twice, then put some bore cleaner on a mop (good amount) and pull through a couple of times mainly back and forward around the cone area then clean with a jag and all done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shropshire_Lad Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have a beretta sp 111 and its a B to clean, a bronze brush and solvent/oil is the only thing that gets mine streak free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharf Rat Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 WD40 rots metal and rubber seals. Try a solvent designed for gun use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert 888 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 This is what i do put a bronze cleaning brush on a half of the cleaning rod insert the rod in a power drill on slow speed and push it in and out of the barrel where the plastic has stuck. It shouldnt do any harm to the barrel as the bronze brush much softer. This is my opinion and could be wrong but works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wharf Rat Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 How does that work? It is a pretty harsh solvent. It is not oil. It's fine for cleaning, but don't leave it on metal too often. As a regular cleaner of barrels I wouldn't use it. There are plenty of dedicated solvents for cleaning, but finish with an oil if you use any of them.

Andy H Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Quite a few bore cleaning products us a solvent (Acetone) to dissolve nitro powder fouling and remove other debris in the barrel , Now Acetone is sometimes supplied in HDPE (high density polyethylene) containers and the problem is most plastic wads are made from polyethylene , So the solvent will not melt wad fouling and the only thing to use a brass brush and elbow grease to shift those stubborn plastic streaks.

BangBangNik Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I always use Napier gun cleaner. A good squirt down each barrel, leave it to work it's magic while I cut my kitchen roll up and give it a good brush.
