I have saw one video on Youtube that claims that D-Limonene is better than M-Pro 7 and even mineral spirits. Has anyone used D-Limonene for thorough gun cleaning? Specifically for carbon that is so caked into the interior of the weapon that you would not be able to tell unless you grab a napkin and rub it across the weapon

hi, I'm usually using plain old Ballistol everywhere in the gun, I've seen they have also other newer products, like GunCer ... Is it much better than plain Ballistol?

Is this true? And if so what do I use, I think the gun is a late seventies so kind of an antique

New to weapons and I am looking to clean my own. I am looking for everything that is needed to clean a Glock 19 Gen 5 and an AR15 rifle/pistol 5.56/.223.

Please list or link everything that’s needed. I was browsing Amazon and was unsure of what to get with all the options. All help and advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Just wondering what I need to clean my hk handgun, got some nylon brushes, bore cleaners and hopes clp? Is there anything I'm missing?

Also, I find it hard to clean in the trigger assembly, can I take that out and clean it? Or do you need to be an expert to do so? I am comfortable handling my pistol and stripping it except I’ve never messed with the trigger assembly

So I clean my Glock after I shoot every time (I probably shoot around 200 rounds when I go), but sometimes there’s a black coating that won’t come off and it’s really super stubborn, I heard that soaking the slide and barrel in solvent helps so I’m soaking them in hoppes gun solvent, is that gonna work to get it off or are there any other methods?

Just bought a sks with bits of rust on barrel area any tips on getting it removed?

I know they say to keep running patches through until the patch shows you it's clean.... But how many on average should I be looking at?

Got a new Canik Rival S not too long ago, and I've been trying to clean it after each range session, and I feel like I'm going through just so many patches until I'm not seeing any dark coloration on the patches any more... Like 20-25+ at least. Am I being too OCD about it?

Been using hoppes for a while but seriously wondering, are pro shot or whatever really worth the extra? I get a 300 pack of 3" square for $8, pro shot 500 count same size is $25.

What's so great about them to be that much more?

Im looking for something that has all the brushes and break down rods to do pistols of all calibers and rifles/shotguns from .17hmr to 10g. I had got my dad a nice remington squeege kit years ago and when he passed away it went missing and i cant seem to find them anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated TIA

So, I had all my cleaning stuff in the garage in a nice, sealed tupperware bin.
One of the bottles of gun oil tipped over on its side and leaked, including saturating 3-4 bore snakes I had in the bin with.

I have no idea how long it had been sitting that way.
I've attempted to wash the bore snakes with dish soap, but I'm skeptical if I'll ever get them remotely clean - moreso they're shedding (I'm getting green dissolved plastic on my hands cleaning them).

Are these a total loss?
Can they be saved? The appear structurally OK despite the "shedding"

Wondering if that’s rust or the finish coming off of the inside of the receiver, pretty vigilant about cleaning after every shoot

Hi all

As I’m getting more rifles in the mix I’m thinking about getting my own cleaning gear. Now, Inwas wondering, as I have a 308 and a 223, could I use the dewey .22 cleaning rod for both rifles? (Provided I use the correct adapter thingymajigs for the correct size jags? Ps, how retarded that they don’t just allow ther jags/brushes to attach to the rod itsself?

Tia!

I was taking it apart to clean, and when I did the inside yellow lever it got stuck, and I didn't know why or how that would be. I tried to force it a bit but not super hard before I took the slide off and manually moved the sear up to put the lever back into position, in doing so I managed to leave a little nick in the sear where it was stuck and I just wanna make sure whether or not it's still safe.

What’s the easiest way to clean the barrel where it’s welded to the comp? I’ve been picking at it for a few hours now. Kind of satisfying but I think I’ve plateaued and just want to get this done right.

When I finished it sounded and felt so much better and I have no idea when it was last cleaned as it's a used gun.

Just bought my first firearm, (cz75 sp01). I’m looking to learn what I need as far as cleaners go for my gun. I see some people use a standard CLP for cleaning and lubrication, whereas other prefer to use a cleaner and a separate lubricant. Any pros/cons for both and any recommendations for products I should buy?

I'm at my first experiences cleaning guns, I've a 9mm, bought a kit with a one piece coated rod, a jag, brushes and patches.
Is the gun seems clean and I've not shooted much, I don't use the brushes but only patches.

I've already read about only doing this from chamber to muzzle, and that the cleaning rod should rotate freely.

I've not used the jag because I was unsure, I just put the patch on the rod.
patches I've bought should be for 9mm but seems a bit too big, they're like 2" x 4" , they pass through but quite tight, especially the first one, and the rod doesn't seems to rotate.

I understand it's difficult to explain, but "how much tight" they should be? Should I just find the exact size trying trimming a bit?

Does the use of cleaning patches too tight damage the rifling someway? I think that cloth, even tight, should not damage anything, but I'd better ask...
