J-B® NON-EMBEDDING BORE CLEANING COMPOUND

J-B® NON-EMBEDDING BORE CLEANING COMPOUND Reviews & Ratings

The original, time-proven formula developed by Jim Brobst and produced under exclusive license. J-B has been getting burned-on, caked-in powder residue and copper jacket fouling out of gun barrels since the 1960’s, and hasn’t damaged an inch of rifling yet. Today, J-B once again proves itself a champion by the way it easily cleans the dirtiest, moly-fouled barrels.


A unique combination of ingredients and a one-of-kind, multi-step mixing process give J-B its special characteristics. They work together to cushion the abrasive action; the soft paste liquifies as you use it, then wipes out of the bore easily. The non-embedding feature means there’s no abrasive residue left behind which might keep “cutting” after you’ve finished cleaning.


J-B has been a favorite on gunsmiths’ benches for years, as a “magic” cure for customer guns that “…just won’t shoot anymore”. These pros know that a good scrubbing with J-B often restores accuracy. Match and varmint shooters put a lot of rounds down range, many of those using moly coated bullets. The large amounts of copper fouling and the burned-in moly can create a cleaning nightmare; J-B makes short work of it.


Use J-B with the Lewis Lead Remover to get the last speck of leading out of pistol bores. Shotguns combine lead, powder and plastic fouling to really throw patterns off; J-B cleans it all out quickly and easily.


Here’s what a couple of the most respected names in the shooting industry have said about J-B. Jim Carmichel, gun writer and dedicated shooter, “I have used J-B for years and routinely use it even on my very finest benchrest rifles. When no other bore cleaner will get the job done, J-B will.”


The late Warren Page, a benchrest shooting legend, wrote the praises of J-B when it was first introduced to the shooting public. He said, “J-B is an ultra mild, abrasive oil paste, finer than jewelers’ rouge, which we in the rifle accuracy shenanigan, a few years ago, found was the answer to problems of metal fouling and serious powder fouling that solvents either won’t touch, or will cut only by much labor.” And, “… it was quickly discovered that such an extremely fine abrasive, used with discretion, would take out caked powder residue and mild metal streaking without ruining the bore.”

Works Great
Tried this after following Bryan Litz's "High Performance Rifle Barrel Cleaning" post and he's right, best way to quickly clean to steel and deal with firecracking.

Works every time...
This is the only product I have found that works on the toughest carbon deposits. Good flushing following use is imperative though.

Worked great
JB, kroil, and pellets….work awesome!!! Was expecting the tiny container to at least be more than a third full of JB though…

Works Great!
Bought this to use with the 22 Caliber Super Intensive Pellets, but they wouldn't fit in my .22 barrel so I used this with a regular patch. Ran it through about 20 times and then cleaned it out with dry patches. Looked down the barrel with a bore light and it was gleaming! Can't recommend it enough!

Copper
I use JB with Kroil and VFG felt pellets periodically to remove copper fouling after cleaning with a bronze brush, solvent and patches. Sometimes I'll use an old loose fitting bronze brush with a patch wrapped around it instead of the felt pellets. I don't use JB & Kroil for every cleaning. I don't want to use copper solvents that could harm the bore if left too long. The other copper solvents I've used take a long time to work and don't seem to do as good a job. I use a bore scope to check.

New Cleaning & Lube products
Planning on doing the Kroil & JB Bore Cleaning treatment on few rifles and handguns. Then use the new synthetic Militec oil and Action lubes to finish the job in next several weeks. Service was great, got products quick. Be back with results in few weeks.

J-B bore cleaning paste.
I had stubborn copper fouling in my Sig P938 that I had tried removing with several copper solvents with no luck. After cleaning with the J-b, no longer an issue. Followed up with their polish also.

Does what it claims removes leading and gives a mirror finish
