[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2072191, member: 68758"] Been using Wipe-Out for over ten years. Not a fan of brushes, but I know a lot of guys smarter than I use 'em. I'll do a quick progression of shoot/clean to remove copper on a new barrel (factory barrels take more because of the lesser quality) at the range using their Accelerator, and Tactical Advantage. Doesn't need to soak long before patching it out. Prevents quick buildup/layering of copper if there's a lot of machining/tooling imperfections in barrels that aren't lapped, and really rough button grooves in the rifling. Regularly though, it's Wipe-Out foam; if there's been a few hundred rounds down the tube might be a couple of hour-long applications then one for overnight soak. Borescope doesn't lie, the stuff works- as does others such as Sweet's. But to the point, I have a quart of Hoppes that I use on badly neglected milsurps that come through. Even when the customer isn't asking/paying for a bore cleaning I just can't send them back the way they come in. You'd never believe the apparent numbers of gun owners that don't seem to know you actually need to clean them. I need to start taking pictures- I swear some are so bad that pressures must be spiking something fierce. [/QUOTE]
