berretta77 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi Guys Just wondering what barrel cleaner is the best to use, as i have just bought a new beretta and obviously want to keep the barrels in tip top condition I always clean/oil my guns after every use,and only ever used a light cover of oil in the barrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I use the tiniest amount of Browning Legia spray. Works for me.

This old post might be of interest. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/26653-browning-legia-spray/ Same here. I keep toying with having a go with the clenzoil products but i have used Legia red and green for years and does the job well so havent been persuaded to change yet. You don't need a lot and it lasts for ages. My gun doesn't smell right unless it's had a squirt of green on the wood!

P~MX Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 nothin beats Froglube -- I've tried most all the cleanin products over the years and Froglube is the best no question ! it cleans and protects, you can get it from www.xperttactical.com/froglube in UK -- you'll never need any other cleanin product ever again .

goldeneye243 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I am a convert to froglube too. Expensive, but it lasts well as you don't need to use too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Does Froglube work on plastic streaking ? ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P~MX Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yes Matt, once you snake your barrels out then work the froglube until it removes it, I put some fl one a bronze brush on the cleanin rod into a cordless drill and give it a minute or two then check to see if it's clean, if it's not repeat until its gone, the instruction vids on YouTube say to use a hair dryer to heat the barrels but I just use the drill to generate the heat, once you've cleaned your entire gun with fl you'll only need to snake it and rub it down to leave it spotless, Froglube cleans and protects in a way you'll never have seen before.

goodo123 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I use lynx on mine, misses doesn't mind giving it a rub down now and then either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Another vote for Hoppes 009! I use it in my rifles and it does a very satisfactory job - Not quite as smelly as some that I have used! I have some Sweet's 7.62 Solvent but have yet to use it as it stinks to high heavens but I am told that it will deep clean a barrel and remove any copper fouling very efficiently!

figgy Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I use Napier gun cleaner with vp90 in does the job and also Legia red to light oil the surface of the gun after cleaning. Must try frog lube. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I have used Youngs 303 for 40 years ...... and I started using it on the recommendation of someone who had used it for many years before then. Cleans powder residue etc well and gives an excellent corrosion resistance. I believe its good for corrosion protection because it is slightly alkaline, so combating the ever present airborne acids and other corrosive substances (such as sulphur compounds from exhaust fumes and smoke) as well as acids left by primer and powder residue (which as minimal with modern ammunition). Anyway, I have been very pleased with it. Edited February 13, 2013 by JohnfromUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
