Free All and CLR

[todbartell]

I've used CLR and it removes carbon, but also the bluing on the crown . Now I have gone to Seafoam Deep Creep from the auto store, works well

Carbon removal from bore.
I use ACDelco, called Cleens it's a combustion chamber cleaner. GM sells this product.
Works very well, once again under sized brush and patch wrapped around it.
This was suggested by a gunsmith-target shooter.
Of course lightly lub the bore when done.

Enjoy.

See post #13 above, Bill. Probably the same stuff under a different label, lol. Dave

I totally agree with you on the foam bore cleaner. I recently purchased two old European 30-06's and the foam works wonderfully!

This one?

The thing is I have about 7 or 8 carbon removal products and after I use each of them I borescope and they don’t much cleaning. There is one that kinda works but not really good.
I’ll post some pics before and after next week.

Yup, I have used Delco, Amzoil foaming engine cleaner, and Mercury Quickilver Power Tune ( Which incidently Sinclair Internationall sells !)
They all work pretty danged well.

Go to your friendly Chrysler dealer's parts department and buy a tin of CCC [Combustion Chamber Conditioner]
MOPAR P/N 0VU00788AB (those are zeros, not "O's") [For the record, I do not own any Chrysler vehicles, lol]

It is very good at removing carbon, and will not affect bluing. May damage wood stock finishes, though.
If your carbon is laying between layers of copper, you will have to address each layer separately.

Spray it onto a loose fitting patch, and swab the throat/bore liberally. Let sit for 20 mins at room temp.
[warmer is better] then swab out the carbon with fresh CCC. Repeat as necessary. Dave.

Thanks I’ll give it a try. Have you run a borescope after to check the results?

Is there a Canadian source for the Sharpshootr products?

 

[Gabriel S.]

I buy them from x-reload. There might be others but that's the one I use.

Thanks, Gabriel S. I'll look it up on their site. For copper removal, do you use any of the Sharp Shoot R products?

I use the foam spray and it does a really good job. I like that I don’t have to use a brush.
