If this stuff will remove a carbon ring I'll gladly buy a case of it.

I wish we could see an updated test.

Does anyone have any experience with cleaning hard carbon from a barrel that has only been shot with Moly'd bullets from day one? I've been told if the bore has always only seen Moly bullets that carbon is less likely to build and easier to remove if it does. Not sure if this is true or not.....

Not sure, but I do remember that you still have to clean Cr-Mo barrels, because the Moly will attract moisture and helps pit/corrode the barrel. SS barrels are okay. The only thing that has really worked for hard carbon is JB. For me, the toughest to really get clean are some old battle rifles that shot Brit .303 ammo. That jacketing material has some Ni in the jacket material, not the normal gilding metal jackets.

I've had good success using Rem 40x bore cleaning solution. I use a "snug" patch on a jag, wet with Hoppe's solvent and then add the 40x, and short stroke it all the way down the bore. Can also wrap a used bore brush with a patch, apply the mix of Hoppe's & 40x and short stroke again. JB & flitz work as well, but this combo seems to work a bit faster for me.

JDHasty, yes lots of older ammo had corrosive primers, and you have to use the right cleaners to clean it out properly. Back when I was 8 years old, I took a rifle class from our YMCA that was taught by an old Marine Gunny. He was taught how to clean his '03 Springfield. We had to dunk our barrel muzzles into a bucket of soapy water and use a jag and patch on a cleaning rod to clean our modern 22lr's. Lot's easier to use the right solvent for corrosive primers, which is water based.

Agreed, but was just an example of how things were done with corrosive ammo. Look at any of the old books about guns, especially military guns, and that was the practice. Look at Hatcher's Notebook, etc. The rule was clean the rifle after shooting it, and make sure you dried and oiled the barrel after cleaning it.
Any old military ammo before 1953 probably has corrosive primers, so be careful. I think for US rifles, everything after 1963 has been non-corrosive. Last edited by TinMan; 03-12-2022 at 03:05 PM. Reason: added info |
