I have worked in the firearms industry for over 30 years and as a result become pretty jaded to the "new, great & green" oils and solvents. Most being at best no better and many worse than the what I have been using since the 80s. However this year a friend convinced me to try Bore Tech and I have been very impressed!! I started with the carbon cleaner for .22LR with excellent results so I ordered the Eliminator & Copper solvents. All have preformed magnificently! Highly Recommend!!!
Fired 200 rounds of winchester white box through a a new pistol today. Did the usual bore cleaning solutions and thought that I had the barrel clean. I followed up with Bore Tech C4 Carbon renover, per the directions on the bottle, I was shocked and amazed at the carbon filled patches that followed. I think that I need to reclean all of my firearms to see how much carbon the old cleaners had been leaving in the barrel.
Decided to give this product a try to remove some thick caked on carbon on my AR15 bolt. I didn't think anything would take it off. Actually tried using the Eliminator first, that removed some of the built up carbon with marginal results. Decided to try this Carbon Remover...WOW I am really impressed. Soaked it over night and besides pulling it out of the soak to lightly brush it with a nylon brush I really didn't have to use any elbow grease, this product did all the work.
