jb bore paste

Just use Wipe Out and you'll likely never bother with bore pastes again.

Some folks do like to suffer though.

Good luck w/ your suggested Snake Oil.


OP,
400-600 grit Silicon Carbide-oil base lapping compound will accomplish the task faster than JB's & won't result in tennis elbow.

He's not trying to "lap" the bore, just clean out the jacket fouling is my assumption
 
The thorroclean product seems to work better than anything I have tried. Wipeout is good too but the thorroclean is no question a step up if you shoot alot.

Jacket Fouling/Copper is easily removed w/ ammonia.
Sweets 7.62 or Windex will suffice.

JB's is a abrasive/polishing compound
JB's Bore Bright is a rouge base polishing compound.

Lapping compound w/ jag & patch saves time & effort.

Wipe Out is much easier to use and often faster. Gets right down to the steel without any wear at all.

That stuff is pretty abrasive as I understand it. Wipe out and carb out are your friends. Your barrel will thank you.

JB bore paste will not harm your bore.

As guntech mentioned the abrasive in the paste is harder than the jacket fouling but not as hard as the barrel steel.

Now, if we were talking about cupro/nickle jacket fouling then Wipe Out doesn't work that well and from personal experience, neither does JB's

That's where things like Motty's bore pastes and Sweets are necessary to remove all of the jacket fouling.

Cupro/nickle fouling has a nasty habit of "welding/sweating" itself to the steel if it isn't cleaned out completely. This leads to not being able to bring a good barrel back to shooting as well as it did before.
 
Those with a quality bore scope are capable of verifying that there is more Snake Oil(s) in circulation than quality bore cleaners.

An Air Gauged barrel is lapped to what grit/micron?

Any guesses?
 
Remington used to sell an oily gritty barrel cleaner that seemed to work nicely. I have some and use it when a rifle misbehaves. Don't over do it though.

You can use wipeout and a bronze brush for days on stubborn carbon or you can get it out in one sitting with jb bore paste. Wipeout works about like every other cleaner on carbon, not very well. Jb never hurt my bore

You're talking about Remington 40X Bore Cleaner, still avail on Amazon tho pricey nowadays. I've been using it to remove jacket fouling on my 308, SKS, 223 and x39 Ranch. I run a patch on a nylon brush with a few drops of 40X, mine has an 'agitator pellet' you have to shake it up a bit to 'stir it up'. My '51 Tula collects Copper like a PM-er.

Yup, for stubborn carbon fouling, usually after a few hundred shots? it can get difficult to remove and a physical abrasive is necessary to remove it. That's where JB's comes into things.

That being said, if Wipe Out is allowed to soak for a couple of hours, Wipe Out and repeat the next morning, then the carbon is gone.

But if you need that firearm for a match and need to get it clean in the time allowed for it, then JB's might be a better choice.

I've used them together under such circumstances and they enhance each other well.
 
I used to get a lot of very fouled barrels to clean... some times the copper was so much it just took to much time for solvents, for years I would take the worst out with JB and then use Sweets 7.62...(that was most common in the late 60's) ... then Wipeout was invented... so today it's still JB for the worst, followed up with Wipeout.
