30-6 Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 I bought some " shooters choice " barrel cleaner some years back when I started with rimfires and centrefires. Went to use it last night ( after a while sitting on a shelf ), I can't remember what it looked like before but it didn't look right. Do these products go off ? Do they have a use by date ? Couldn't see anything on the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 So how often do you clean your guns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some smallbore target shooters who will clean their barrels no more than once a year. Only other time they will clean is if they change ammunition or if they get a squib round.

30-6 Posted October 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Can anyone suggest a suitable product that would be used not that often, and be ok to use after sitting on the shelf. They are cleaned as I feel the need to, not used often. I am cleaning all of my rifles now so I can have a re- zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
