No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaner

This cleaner is great. It seriously gets off carbon. My dad has a Glock 48 that had some carbon stains from years of use. Especially on the end of his grey slide and this stuff reversed the aging of his gun. Every time we go out and shoot and I clean it for him the gun looks newer than before. Totally removed the carbon from the slide. I have a Glock 20 and not only does the outside of the gun look like new still but so does the inside. The smell is pretty strong, but goes away quickly after the gun sits a bit. At that point you can only smell it if your nose is right up to the gun. It sucks when you get it on your hands. I usually clean on a towel and I’ve designated a towel for gun cleaning now because the first towel I used the smell didn’t come out in the wash so yeah. Cleans great though

I used this by cleaner by hand applying with brushes and swabs as my procedure for a few months. It was good, and I was satisfied. When I do a heavier cleaning, I generally ultrasound my pistol and small rifle parts, and use a 1/2 oz. of simple green to 24 oz of water. It generally does a decent job. I was doing my usual one day and for some reason decided to splash a little Hoppes #9 in the already operating tank with the Simple Green, and all of a sudden that bath came alive! Soon, the top of the water became foamy with dirty coagulated oil beads, lots of it. I left it run a minute or so and pulled the basket up, I was astonished. The metal was shining bright like I never saw with just the simple green solution. I’ve done it this way since, and it’s been phenomenal. Any minor residue left wipes away. I always rinse thoroughly, dry thoroughly and oil everything generously. My guns have never been so clean. I’ve seen no resultant issues whatsoever with composite or metal parts degradation. Try this if you can. It works!

What can I say, It's Hoppes #9. Some people hate the smell, I for one like it. As for the cleaning, its pretty hard to beat. I have tried many others and keep coming back to the good old Hoppes #9. Arrived sealed, no leakage...yay. Recommended.

Great item. Worked good. Good quality!

This is a solvent to clean your barrel. The solvent contains kerosene. you may use it on nickel if you remove it immediately then use oil afterwards. In a barrel it cleans any carbon and dirt. It also works good on old barrels with alot of imperfections for example pitting. You apply, then use a bronze brush then temove with a clean patch, apply again and allow the solvent to soak for one hour. Then vigorously scrub the bore woth a bronze brush. Don't be afraid to scrub it if it is an old barrel. 60 passes or more,then soak a patch and rinse the dirt and rust. Then dry patch. Aftr this I like using a synthetic metal remover like boretech to remove the copper. Use the same method this type of solvent requires ine hour to soak aswell. Rinse brush vigorously then wet wipe woth remoil then dry patch. After you wipe clean then apply one rem oil patch wet into the bore for storage. This method is used for neglected barrels or cheap barrels. With a cheap barrel I will add a step and use jb polish then check with a borescope to confirm the polish to a bright shine. Then then follow the previous final step with the rem oil for storage. After you do this, next time you shoot the rifle, you may use the hoppes and a nylon brush for a quick clean. But this is to be used for the next 400 rounds then you will need to again use a copper solvent. Hoppes alone will not remove the copper fouling but is excellent against carbon or pitting,rust and Inside the action where you typically do not find copper fouling. I wanted to explain the way I clean a neglected barrel to give you an idea on where this solvent strongest category is. I added images of a 1943 mosin nagant after using hoppes and also copper removal using bkretexh, alao using a polish then hippes again followed by remoil before/ after images

Great Product, great Appearance, Very Durability, Great Quality, Great Value.

Excellent product. If you have own firearms you know the brand. It is exactly what you would expect. The value is better than what can be had at your local supply place. For reference, I have guns for the purpose of hunting and target shooting for pleasure. I am not a marksman, I do not compete, I do not own high end firearms. This review cannot speak to high-end equipment or marksman.

Can they make this scent in a cologne!? I just want to bathe in it! Been using this stuff my whole life and it works just as good as it always has. Lots of new companies out there making fancy new solvents, but no thanks... don't need to reinvent the wheel. It worked for our grandpa's and it works for us. I just wish it still came in a glass bottle.

Always used! Nothing to compare with as I've always been satisfied!

Recomendadisimo
