What is the BROWNELLS - Shotgun Wad Solvent, 16oz?

SHOTGUN WAD SOLVENT

Specially formulated to loosen plastic wad fouling, carbon and powder buildup, Brownells Shotgun Wad Solvent helps reduce scrubbing for easier cleaning of smoothbore and rifled shotgun barrels. Starts breaking down the residue to help get heavily fouled shotgun bores shiny clean in less time. A real time saver for loosening that burned-in wad residue in ported barrels or choke tubes. Regular use helps prevent wad layering and carbon accumulation. Slow-evaporating for longer working time.


Liquid is for those who prefer traditional liquid bore cleaners.


The gel consistency of our Gelled solvent provides superior adhesion to the patch and bore for maximum dissolving power and eliminates the dripping associated with liquid solvents. Caution: May remove some stock finishes. Do not use with nylon/plastic brushes or store in plastic containers.


SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Liquid Options: 4 fl. oz and 16 fl. oz.
  • Gelled Option: 16 fl. oz.

The Best Solvent
As for myself and likely any other clay sport shooter- competitor, this wad solvent from Brownell’s is the only choice to make. I shoot upwards of 15k rounds annually and this product is simply Outstanding. When I’m down to one container, I order two more so I’m always covered. Buy it and you won’t ever be disappointed.

Is it magic or not?
We clean a LOT of heavily fouled shotgun bores due to plastic wad deposits along with carbon and general crud. There is NO chemical that will dissolve plastic wad material that is offered for sale to the general public. ANY ultra thin penetrating type oil will work under most plastic wad fouling, allowing it to be removed easily, but still requiring removal mechanically. This stuff works great, gets under and loosens plastic wad fouling nicely.

Does what it says!
This stuff is exactly what I was looking for. Now rather than using automotive products that I am not sure are safe for my gun, this does the job. I put little in a ziplock bag and let my chokes soak in it while I swab my barrels with it. Give it a few minutes. Then I use a barrel brush to easily push out was residue. Once the barrels are completely clean, its time for the chokes. They clean up easily as well. Dont get this product on wood surfaces.

Best solvent on the market, ever....
Having been cleaning shotguns for the past 50 + years, this is the most efficient and easy to use bore solvent that I have ever used. And believe me, I have tried many of them and not a one comes close to doing an excellent job in such a short amount of time, no matter how dirty the barrel is. I have shared this with several folks that I shoot trap with, and they too, were equally impressed. Respectfully, John A. Reichel, Dixon, CA
