Rifle Cleaning Procedure & Products?

[Brydawg512]

Hello,

I am due to clean my first custom rifle after its first time out for this year's hunting season.

What products are you all using to clean your rifles? What is your process/procedure for doing so?

Thank you!

Thorroclean ended 30yrs of cleaning products, procedures, and woes. Just follow instructions on the bottles.

Big support for anything Boretech. I have to ask what you're trying to clean? Is it just dirty from the field? Did it get wet? Are your groups opening up? If it's the barrel you're wanting to clean, there are a million differing opinions on technique and products, but if you're just trying to sprits it up a bit, a good wipe down with some mild rust preservative and a little tiny bit of grease on the lugs would be sufficient. If the barrel doesn't need a cleaning, you don't have to. I used to over clean all of my rifles, and now that I don't, they shoot better.

I clean after almost every range session with CLR and Montana copper killer, followed with a patch of lock-ease.

Cleaning? What is that?
