Seeking source for Military Surplus Bore Cleaner.....
Can anyone point me to a source for the small cans of WWII Bore Cleaner? Looking for the stinky stuff used to clean corrosive ammo fouling.

Try gunshows.
I've been told that either Shooter's Choice black powder or copper solvent works well on corrosive primer residue. I forget which.

I still have about a can and a half that I use periodically. It's dated 1943. Damn that stuff is stinky...but it sure works good!

Also try an old fashioned military surplus store. A little soapy water on a few patchs will work nicely to dissolve those nasty salt crystals as well.

There were two types of US corrosive bore cleaner from WW2. The white milky stuff that dosen't smell much, and the dark brown stuff that smells like hell. They both work equally well, but I prefer the brown stuff because it smells like its kicking *****. Plus I like the left over WW2 type smell it leaves in the military guns. Unfortunately most of the WW2 made stuff you find for sale now-a-days is the milky stuff.
