I've gone to Eliminator and quite happy with the results.
I,ve used sweets7.62 for years.....heard all the warnings...... took a bottle to work.... put some on a s.steel 416 bar...... to see..... nothing......happened.... kept putting it on all day..... still nothing.....Sweet's 7.62 works very well…no time do you leave it in the barrel for more than 15 minutes, and scrub it out with metho or isopropyl.
Cheers.
I use Hoppes Elite Copper Terminator. Works good. I get blue patches with that that I don't with other stuff. Having a borescope makes cleaning guns more involved too. When I think I got it all, I go and look and I'm only half way done. Just something to keep in mind.I need a good copper remover cleaner. The stuff I have been using does not seem to get the copper out.
I usually flush with alcohol. But anything like that is probably a good idea. Something quick drying they gets junk out when you're finished.It's not at all a copper solvent but regarding carbon and crud and oils and all that other stuff I recently discovered acetone is another useful tool for the gun cleaning toolbox.
