Break Free Cleaner

[Quantum Singularity]

I was told this is the best gun cleaner. YET, it says nothing about removing copper and lead buildup. The can only mentions removing dirt. Does it remove copper and lead?

 

[Badger Arms]

Nope. I also disagree that it is the best thing yet. I use EEZOX. Tetra (grease) and Remington (action cleaner) Gun Care products also find their uses around my shop. There are specific products for bore cleaning. Hoppes makes some with really good reputations.

I use it all the time, but frankly it's a better lubricant than it is a cleaner.

Never mind. I was thinking CLP, not the Cleaner. Sorry...

Joe's right. Lubricant good but cleaner okay.

Its an excellent lubricant and protectant. As a cleaner it works very well on carbon buildup and rust.

I have read all the propaganda for it plus was given a gallon of the stuff. I am inclined to think it has a tendency to evaporate over time, so leaves something to be desired as a lubricant. I am less than impressed with it as a cleaner. I use it for things that aren't critical.

What I use most is surplus 'oil, light, lubricating' that I got for 50 cents a gallon. GI bore cleaner used to be dirt cheap, too, and I still have a supply of that. I also made up some of Ed's Red as a bore cleaner and it seems as good as anything else.

Always wondered who had time to evaluate all these wonder products.
