[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2524922, member: 115658"] Bore Max Foam (overnight soak) better than discontinued Gunslick foaming bore cleaner. Attacks copper fouling & breaks up & softens black stuff in bore. Nylon brush dipped in 5-30W synthetic motor oil (good surfacant) lots of thin wire in bronze to react with bore cleaner, 20-30 strokes w nylon brush Carbon (king of elements) is unreactive with [URL='https://www.britannica.com/science/acid']acids[/URL] or [URL='https://www.britannica.com/science/alkali']alkalies[/URL] and will react only at temps hot enough to damage rifle barrels. The black stuff in barrels might not be all carbon but a mixture of powder & primer residues & some carbon. Primers explosives usually contain lead compound. I think bore guides are generally useless. Wipe cleaning rod off freqently. J-B to scrub off black stuff in bore when needed. Buy whatever makes you happy. [/QUOTE]
