What Cleaner?

[cart1775]

Wonder what cleaners work best for the 15-22. Is there any difference in cleaners for a rimfire than a centerfire?

been using wd40 for cleaning with a microfiber cloth and oiling up with birchwood gun oil after letting it dry up. Been working great for me

every one I know swears by the oil Birchwood Casey Synthetic Gun Oil with PTFE Lubricant : Cabela's

 

[Vulcan Bob]

I've been useing Break Free CLP on mine, so far so good.

 

[SPDGG]

IMHO: MPro7

* Cuts/Cleans Carbon extremely well

Hoppe's 9, but if WD40 is doing the trick, I may try that!

Break Free CLP gets my vote.

Cleaner?

just careful with the wd40, its good for cleaning but does not lubricate. You have to finish up with some gun oil after it evaporates.

Breakfree clp here. Gunslick lube

I've been using a Patchworm and Gunzilla with great success on all my rimfires.

I usually make a final pass or two through the barrel with a Boresnake.

+1 for Gunzilla

I have been using Ed's Red on all my firearms since I found it on the old FIDO net gun echo back in the 80s. I also use it for cleaning engine parts and in place of penetrating oils. At under $15 per gallon why not?

Try brake cleaner it's cheap and does a good job. There is a lot of good oils. I remember what a very good gunsmith told me. "The only oil wasted is what drips off your elbow" Don

Break cleaner can strip some finishes... wd40 and a air hose turn a cleaning job into a 2 min. thing hose it down in wd40 and blow out all the grim and grit the apply clp to all parts that need lube(pretty much anything that moves or gets touched by something that moves) and reassemble.. its that quick and easy...

If you do have any carbon build up a brass brush while the wd40 is still on it will break it free and the air hose will remove it....

hoppe's #9 thats all ive ever used on all my guns.

 

[Casehardn]

Break Free CLP.

 

[KaiDoi]

M-Pro 7 gun cleaner and M-Pro 7 gun oil LPX. I just switched to the new LPX from their previous CLP. I use M-Pro for all of my guns.

 

[Monstercastle]

Remoil spray is cheap at Wallyworld. I use that to clean along with compressed air and brushes. Mpro7, Clp, or Hoppes to lightly lube where required.

 

[Brett248Vista]

Break Free CLP it's all I ever use!

+1 for Ed's Red. The stuff is a miracle. Best bore cleaner ever.

 

[ChattanoogaPhil]

I'm not very particular about these things.

Hoppe's No. 9? Is that stuff still being made? I know it has
been around nearly 50 years-maybe longer.

C-Phil is dating himself w/ that one.

 

[lonejacklarry]

According to the Hoppe's web site, No. 9 has been around
since 1903. Do you remember when it was introduced, Phil?

Actually, I switched from English Leather to Hoppe's No.9 in the 70's.

The English Leather reference DEFINITELY dates you! (and me too for knowing that!)

Not sure what the point is in posting that photo since you actually have to USE the product, and well, lets be honest here... I've seen the photos of your rifle...
