Hey fellas,

I just picked up some Break free CLR. I've always used good 'ole Hoppes just like my dad taught me, so I thought I'd break old habits and try something new.

I know lots of people really like the Break free and recommend it, so here's my question; Do any of you notice a discernible difference when letting parts soak over night? or is there a diminishing point of return after a few minutes or hours?
also, what application rate are you using? A quick spray or a complete soak? right now I've got my barrel soaking in a plastic baggy along with the spring slide.

I sent 200 rounds down the pipe this afternoon, and soak is dingy and dark with zero brushing or swabbing ...

I don't believe in 'miracle' snake oils, but I've seen this product for years and know lots of people like it ... it's pretty cheap too, so if it does better than Hoppes it won't be a big deal to switch ..... what do you fellas think?


Thanks in advance for your opinions and advice.
