I've never seen a barrel like this.

USGI rifle bore cleaner...I may have misspoke about the amount of water in it.


Chemical Name-Percent

Kerosene 18-22%

Hydrotreated Light Napthenic Distillate 1-3%

Oxygenated Hydrocarbons 1-3%

Dipropylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether 55-60%

1,2-Propanediol 4-6%

2-Aminoethanol 2-5%

9-Octadecanoic Acid 9-11%

I wonder which one of those big words went under the trade name of "Stink-All"!!!!

Bret is absolutely right about the degreased steel wool and coarse carding material when doing a whole rifle with Oxpho Blue (I have used a scrap of old blue jean denim to good effect). Heat gun and keep the surface flooded with the paste via the lump of steel wool as it dries out quickly.

Oxpho comes in a paste now? I gotta get with the times! Does the paste offer anything over the liquid? Other than not dripping off I mean?

My Tikka Match Rifle shot bugholes. I bought a bore scope. OMG ! BUT it still shoots bugholes.

They make a paste now so it doesn't have to be shipped hazmat. The paste is great, easy to apply, no dunk tank needed, heat the metal as much as you need without it cooling off in the liquid, etc. Apply the paste with a cotton ball or the steel wool
