M Pro 7 / Slip 2000 / CLP / Hoppes / Sweets: Which one?

[ysr_racer]

Some of these stink to high heaven, some are odorless.

Which one do you guys like to cut thru carbon?

[FLIGHT762]

For just carbon cleaning, I've been using Rem Oil for many years. It cuts carbon fouling off really well.

I use it mostly for hand guns and shotguns for the slides, bolts and barrels.

Rifle bores get a more specific cleaner like wipe out, Butch's bore shine, Shooter's choice etc.

As far as CLPs go, Brakefree works for me for everything for decades. I tend to use Slip 2000 EWL now because it odorless and it burns off as a lube slower in things like AR's. I reciently have tried Clenzoil and its the best cleaner for a CLP, but chemical smell like Brakefree and too thin to use as a lube.

The correct answer is they will all work, you will never notice a difference, so it really does not matter.

For rifle barrels I need to clean copper out of, I'll use Wipeout foam.

Slip 2000

[ENTHUSIAST]

M Pro 7 is my current go to because it doesn’t stink and is non-toxic.

[M1A Rifleman]

Hoppes, as it smells great and does not harm non-nickel finishes or rust bores

Ballistol

Sweet's 7.62 stinks like ammonia, but it cleans copper. I'm trying Shooter's Lube cleaner. No odor.

[Jimi Jah]

12 years of using only Slip products. No smell, non-toxic, works better than anything else I've tried.

I grew up with Hoppe's. I use it regularly but every two to three years I'll hit the bore with Sweet's 7.62 to flush out the copper.

Hoppe's I use anywhere; Sweet's is some powerful stuff, so I'm in an open breezeway with breeze, eye protection, and rubber gloves.

Breakfree CLP

[Kurgan]

MPro7 for cleaning.

CLP for rust protection and small part lube.

Wilson Combat Ultima Lube II for slides, bearing surfaces etc.

[Kurgan]

Also use a healthy dose of gun scrubber between initial cleaning and lubrication.

[FeuerFrei]

Why not a gun cleaner that smells nice, removes carbon and moisturizes while you wash the dishes and makes laundry come out clean/bright and smells mountain air fresh?

Sure they make it. They just didn't tell you guys about it.

*My snark filter is full and will need replacing. It is on back order, so...
