[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1179376, member: 4191"] Midway has KG1 carbon cleaner. The only rifle I had with very many rounds down the bore was an AR-15. So I found the instructions from KG on the web, and used their KG1 carbon cleaner on this .224 bore. They say patch the bore with KG1 a couple times. Then soak a brass brush with KG1 and work the brush thru the bore about 10 times. I went back and forth thru the bore about 15 times. Then dry patch. Then a wet KG1 patch to see if any more gray is removed from the bore. I was surprised at how much carbon came out of the bore on the patch following the brass bore brush. I could feel a little roughness in the first 6" or so out from the chamber using the brush initially. Then it was pretty smooth and consistent down the rest of the bore. After I was done with the bore brush, other than removing the loose residue, I didn't really get any additional carbon stains on the following patches. And the bore looked and felt very smooth. This is a chromed 5.56 bore. I then removed copper using Bore Tech Eliminator. Just saying the KG1 applied following KG's instructions for use seemed to work very well on my bore. I didn't know there was any carbon fouling in there, but reading this Thread caused me to clean for carbon with the KG1 product. Some background on this bore: I had maybe 125 rounds down this bore prior to cleaning it 2 weeks ago. I'd used KG1 and Bore Tech Eliminator 2 weeks ago, but I didn't use the brass bore brush 2 weeks ago. I then fired 25 rounds last weekend. Then yesterday cleaned with KG1 and the brass bore brush, not really expecting to find carbon. But there was carbon in there. So it appears I also need to pay more attention to a periodic carbon removal cleaning process. I'd used KG1 for about 6 years now, but this is the first time I used it with the brass bore brush as their instructions recommended. Would be nice to own a bore scope. I've been too miserly to purchase one... [/QUOTE]
