I just read a bunch of good things about this gun cleaner a couple of days ago,and was wondering if anyone has used it,and how does it compare to Hoppe's #9.Any and all feedback will be appreciated.

Thank you

I have been using it for about 3 months. It works well and doesn't have a chemical smell. The lub works as a quick cleaner and does what it says it will. you don't need but a drop. The lub does have a weird smell.

It is the only gun cleaner I have used in several years. I even cleans the carbon off of the face of stainless cylinders, with very little brushing. No smell either.

I started using MPro7 (Pantheon Chemicals) seven or eight years ago in an attempt to increase the number of rounds fired before actions slowed and eventually froze in my HK P7M8 and P7M13 pistols that employ a gas retarded recoil piston and cylinder. They can crud up real quickly if fluid lubes are used.

Long story short, MPro7 cleaning gets metal "molecularly clean" as they advertised. The resulting bare metal absolutely needs something to protect and lubricate its surfaces and the MPro7 Gun oil works just fine as does any quality lube in that regard.

The treatment that ultimately worked best for me on the P7s was to use a dry Teflon lube on the cylinders and pistons of those pistols. I stopped testing how many rounds it took to gum up the actions at about 1500 each because I felt guilty about not cleaning them

That cycle for cleaning and lube also proved to make subsequent cleanings easier. So I started using the same procedure on all my firearms and found that revolver cylinder faces and chambers, ejection stars, and even the bore all benefited.

Some examples:

a 64-2



629-6 Cylinder Front



686-5 Mountain Gun



P7M13

We've been using it on all our department firearms (Sigs, ARs, 870s) for the past year, and it definitely cleans carbon and lead fouling faster and more thoroughly than anything I've thus far used. Follow directions with the cleaner, and let the solution soak for 5 minutes before scrubbing or wiping down. Repeat until clean, and then lightly oil. M-Pro 7 is a step above Hoppe's No. 9 IMO.

Hoppe's must like it, too. Hoppe's Elite is almost the same stuff made by the same company with just enough differences to make Elite elite.

Another happy user. Been using it since 2008 and it works quite well.

Ditto on all of the responses. I have been using Mpro7 for many years when they were selling their own cleaning patches. I recommend it to my students during the cleaning lesson. However, try their bore gel to do the job on the bores and chambers of revolvers. Follow their instructions on their brochure and you will spend less time cleaning your firearms one they are completely cleaned.

I have used M-PRO 7 and love it. All their products are non-toxic and the cleaner has no odor. I also use their LPX gun oil which cleans and lubes. It will not evaporate.

Pantheon Enterprises also developed Hoppe’s Elite Gun Care Products which they make for them.
Is it true that Hoppe's bought out M-Pro7? - MPro7

I have a spray bottle of that stuff. Thought I was getting the oil, and said to myself: "what the heck is this stuff?" It looks like water and it has no odor.

I guess I'll have to try it.

I've been using it for a long time - must be over a dozen years ago that the online buzz and a recommendation from a friend who owned a gun store got me into it. Honestly, it works fine. I went crazy and used nothing else for a few years - and I learned that it does a perfectly good job of superficial cleaning (it'll wipe off a lot of smokey schmutz, for instance), and not an especially good job of removing hard-to-get-off gunk (copper, lead, etc.).

Nowadays I use a variety of products when I clean, though, and even though I've got a working spray bottle of MPro7 on my bench and a couple back-up bottles in the cupboard I don't use it nearly as often as I use Ed's Red (I'm cheap), Kroil (get the lead out!) or Hoppe's (some guns deserve to have that smell about them ). The upshot is probably that there's no one product that's the anointed answer for gun cleaning.

Thanks for the reminder, though: I'll have to work MPro7 back into heavier rotation in my cleaning regimen.

I have tried and have about every "snake oil" on the market. Plus my homemade remedies and Eds Red.

From all the actual tests I have read (independent) there are only 2 that actually remove copper(KG 12) and maybe one that slightly removes lead(there is a acid solution that dissolves lead but I will not use it). The majority of cleaning is by elbow grease.
There are gobs of threads on this.

As there are so many glowing reviews I will now need to purchase some M Pro 7 to add to the collection

5wire,
Are those photos of the cylinder front shown, cleaned after firing, just by applying M Pro 7 , let it sit and then wiped off??????

Not "just" at first but subsequent to repeated applications, let sit, bronze brushing, Teflon, lube. It took a few repetitions to get to the point where minimal brushing got the job done after range sessions. Sometimes I have had to use a bit of a lead-away cloth (not on blued guns) wet with MPro7 lightly worked for initial cleaning but still let a brushed or sprayed application of the MPro7 sit beforehand. Forcing cone areas proved the most difficult and I did use flat brass picks and coarse, heavy twine wet with MPro7 to "floss" around the barrel.

I think the dry Teflon lube may be the key. A friend who works with high temperature "reflow" ovens said they found Teflon tended to bond with metal under high temperatures—such as occur when the gun is fired—so eventually there would be Teflon to Teflon contact or a very thin Teflon surface. Crud just doesn't stick to it as easily.

I found this at Homer Depot one day. As I am sucker for all chemicals known to man I bought some. It's pretty good stuff.

Can't find it now. They have a straight Teflon spray also.

DuPont developed the first polymer with Remington and the Nylon 66. Perhaps before HK?? Not sure. Their Zytel is amazing stuff and is actually better than metal in most cases. I called them once and they sent the whole PDF of specs for Zytel and what it can withstand. Things like outboard motor covers, car parts, not just guns.

We use it in the LASD. Works well but you still need a little muscle and a scotch brite to get rings off the cylinders.

Like everybody else said. Works great, no harsh chemical smell, and does work on the face of fouled cylinders with some elbow grease. It's my "go to" cleaner, except for Ballistol (on my ROA's) which my wife insists smells like a wet dog.

You all convinced me on this product. Sounds like something I would like to try!So I just ordered me a bottle.

My best regards to you all:
