Bore Tech C4 Carbon Remover™ Use Instructions

UNLOAD FIREARM

1) Wet 3 to 4 Bore Tech X Count patches with C4 Carbon Remover and individually push through bore to remove loose fouling. Only push patches through the bore in ONE direction.

2) Next, make 10 to 15 passes with a tight fitting Bore Tech brush saturated with C4 Carbon Remover.

3) Then repeat Step 1 and let C4 Carbon Remover soak for 5 to 10 minutes. For badly fouled rifles or parts, extended soak times may be needed.

4) Finally, push dry patches through the bore until they come out clean.

5) Repeat above steps if necessary.

6) Before storing firearm, dampen a patch with C4 Carbon Remover and push through bore. This will protect against rust/corrosion for up to 2 weeks under normal storage conditions.

7) For extended storage or in adverse conditions apply Bore Tech Friction Guard XP Gun Oil.

8) Before using firearm, always run a dry patch through the bore. This will remove any residue and ensure against obstructions.

  • Excellent bore cleaner!!

    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!!!

  • Amazing Product

    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.

  • Best cleaning product!

    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.

  • Unbelievable Product

    Superb Engineered Product that blows away the competition hands down!! Awesome Family to deal with!!

  • Hands down the best!!!!

    My 1911 had very bad carbon fouling. Nothing I could find would touch it. The patches would come out almost completely white. This stuff works, Sure it took 7-8 cleaning runs as per the instructions and about 100 patches. It got the job done and my barrel looks new again. My only regret is not buying the bigger bottle. I figure with regular cleaning after each range trip it should only take 1 cleaning run to have it looking new. Bore tech, thank you I am a customer for life.

  • I love these products!

    Recently I called and spoke to one of your knowledgeable staff describing to them some of the barrel fouling issues I was having. After having purchased a bore-scope earlier this year I was convinced that my .338LM was in need of a barrel replacement. I just wanted to leave this review and say that after using your Cu+2 Copper Remover & C4 Carbon Remover all signs of fouling are completely gone from all rifles. The carbon and copper solvents worked extremely well without offensive odors or harsh chemicals. I love these products! You have another salesman working for you... Thanks!

  • Works like nobody's business

    This C4 Carbon Remover stuff works like nobody's business. I used it on 2 45's and an AR which I am very careful about cleaning and was shocked at how much junk came out. Equally best part about it was I am deadly allergic to toxic chemicals. I was a printer for 40 years so I know about toxic chemicals and what happens to you. I very warily opened up this cleaner and was shocked that there was virtually no smell. Usually the way chemicals are is the harsher the smell the better they work. Your products got everything else out there beat for 2 great reasons! Thanks-SOLD!!!

  • It worked beautifully!!!

    I spoke with a Bore Tech technician yesterday about the relative carbon removing performance of C4 Carbon Remover vs. Eliminator, in particular on the M1 Garand op-rod gas piston. Today, I stopped by Bruno Shooter's Supply and picked up a bottle of the C4 based upon our discussion. First, let me thank you for an outstanding product. It worked beautifully!!!

  • It's a real winner!

    After using 2-4oz. bottles of C4 Carbon Remover in one week at the NBRSA Nationals cleaning 4 guns for competition the product got a real work-out. The barrels remained clean of carbon and no detectable copper build up. It's a real winner!
