Kinda what I thought but wanted to share and see if anyone has been "snake bit"
I have, and used there products about 8 or 9 yrs now, and am very impressed, I've heard it called "snake oil" in the past from those who freely give there opinion, but, have never tried any of the their products, I have achieved some of my best accuracy using them, coincidence, maybe, call it what you will, but that's just my experience

Did you see any difference during cleaning?

I like to try new things.
I use Darrell Holland's version.
I know Brux and Krieger barrels usually have a smooth bore, but the minute amount of fouling even during the first few shots when new has me thinking it's better than firing on a squeaky clean dry barrel.

It seemed to clean up with fewer patches, but, I did start out with a new barrel

Do you mind to share a couple of things that attributed to better accuracy that specifically relates to using the Accuracy Oil?
Are you asking me why or how it works? I have no idea, I just followed the suggested use, if you're looking for some scientific reasoning, you might want to call the engineers

No worries. Never heard of the stuff and wanted to get your take on the accuracy improvements you had seen after 8/9 years of use.

I have used it for a long time also, I would guess at least 10 years but I don't remember when it came out. When it came on the market my then young son was interested in it and I said what the heck let's see if it is better. I bought the kit with I think 4 bottles, oil and carbon remover and copper remover, something else and a glass cleaner in it. I will say the carbon remover is average to slightly better than average and the copper remover is not impressive at all. I have started new barrels on it and switched used barrels to it. On an average to crappy barrel I don't see much if any difference, maybe reduced fouling and maybe a little easier cleaning but I wouldn't bet a gas station roller dog on it. On a good barrel I am fairly certain that I see a little less fouling and the cleaning is definitely easier. Cracked throats clean twice as easily, bores are also a lot easier to clean. I followed the recommended use on every barrel I have started it on, now I clean and push a saturated patch of the oil through for storage. Zero issues with rust, rifles that have sat 4-5 years in the safe will patch dry with one patch and that is all I do before I shoot is one or two dry patches on a jag to remove the excess oil. I have been very satisfied with it. Having it sit for years and not dry or get gummy requiring cleaning of the barrel before you can shoot is worth the cost all by itself to me. I won't replace the copper remover if I ever run out, but I would use the carbon remover for sure and the oil is a staple for me and I will have it on hand until something better comes along.

Can you speak on any accuracy improvements?
