Clean as a whistle
Best carbon remover for my suppressors

Excellent Bore Cleaner
The label clearly states "contains petroleum distillates". While not odorless, you will not smell it unless you put your nose right over the wet patch, it does not permeate. Odor is akin to Windex. In my CF rifles the results are amazing, with only a cotton patch. Removes bore fouling including copper. I have tried many brands over the past 50 years of shooting and this is the best by far.

It works on a 338 LM
Water based does not mean, it's weak. I use it on bolt, AR and AK. I have no complaints. Cleans carbon from a 300 gr 338 LM round. And, I'm a little fanatical about cleaning. Plus, NO SMELL!

Very Good
I disagree with the low rating comments. This isn't a soaking solvent or brush scrubbing solvent. It is for use on cotton patches being pushed down a bore. It works very well and also removes copper. Point being is there is not one bore cleaning product that is the end all. You can use this, then switch to you other favorite brand, etc. and they will all continue to get some matter out of your bore due to different formulations. You never really get your bore clean unless you go after it with JB Bore paste. Folks think their bore is clean because they get clean patches, but just switch to any other bore cleaner and you will get dirty patches again. It doesn't mean your cleaner is bad. Some patches are better than others and yes, you need the occasional non-brass brush in your bore, too. AND you don't have to over clean to an absolutely JB type squeaky clean finish.

Excellent product
Removes carbon quickly - several drops on a muzzle brake or a wet patch down the barrel with a 5 minute soak and the brake or barrel is carbon free. A few products out there are as good, but certainly nothing better.

Simple easy to use; excellent product
I've used everything out there for cleaning my various bolt guns over the last 10-12 years - going all the way back to Hoppes #9 when I was in the military. This is by far the best carbon cleaner on the market.

Excellent Cleaner
I use this on my McWhorter Custom Rifles and it does an excellent job removing carbon fouling. Since using I have used no other brand. I also use KG12 Copper remover. Excellent products.

Best on the market so far
This is the best cabon cutting solvent out there; and it does not smell bad. I've tried them all, including the biggest names, and this product does a better job with less work.
