That’s quite a testimony! It’s been more than a year since I wrote that, and I still swear by the stuff.

I got a free sample at the National Sheriffs’ Convention in Indianapolis. Tried it, liked it, ordered enough for 25 Officers including the SWAT Team. I’m ordering more to give out as Christmas gifts to my Hunting Buddies and friends at the Sporting Clays range.

I have allways been a #9 fan but this stuff is the best I’ve seen in 33 years of Public Service.

I have tried almost all, to include Clenzoil and MP7. Gunzilla is the only one that removes powder and plastic fouling from a shotgun bore without requiring the use of a copper brush. After I cleaned the bore for the second time with Gunzilla the cleanup was the easiest by far of any product. It even got the forcing cones clean. I usually shoot 200 to 400 rounds between cleanings and gunzilla is by far the best.

I don’t think it’s the same stuff, but I could be wrong.

With corrosive-primed stuff, also depends on the weather. Humid as it’s been in OK the last while, overnight would let rust start.

Been using Ballistol and water to swab the bore & bolt face at the range when the barrel’s cooled enough, then regular cleaning after I get home.

Haven’t seen Gunzilla. If it’s the same as the stuff the Army issues, my son hates it, at least for cleaning a M16; says it just doesn’t cut the gunk very well.

For $10,000 I’d shill for Hillary.

Well, in order to say something good about it, I’d have to try it and become a millionaire first.

So, if someone offered you $10,000 to endorse their system of “Become a Millionaire in the Real Estate Market with No Money Down”™ you’d do it?

A day is fine. A week probably isn’t. I’ve waited a day with no problems. In a dry environment, which my basement isn’t, you can probably wait longer. The Russkies probably didn’t care whether the rifle survived much longer than the war.

I’m a BreakFree CLP kind of guy myself. Very little odor and it does the job of solvent and lubricant. Each of us have our preferences. I used Hoppes early on and switched because of my ARs and then found the other guns liked it too. I keep the Hoppes as a backup.

Sailorcurt is right about cleaning with corrosive. I keep a bottle of 50/50 Windex and water in my bag and run a couple of soaking patches through the bore at the range. A couple dry patches to mop up and clean normally. The one time I forgot the dry patch I had rust in the bore (nothing a quick pass didn’t solve with normal cleaings) but I’ve never had a problem with corrosive ammo even a week later doing this. As a matter of being protective of my 60-70 year old rifles, I generally clean the corrosive shooters immediately upon getting home and leave the normal stuff for the following day if I am short on time.

Cleaning it at the range is a no-go unless I wear asbestos gloves and use flame-retardant cleaning patches.

That damned barrel gets friggin’ hot.

So a day is too much, eh? No problem, I’m pretty good about it, but there’s been a time or two when I wasn’t able to.

How did the Ruskies deal with them in the field? I can’t imagine they would stop and clean during a protracted firefight.

Sailorcurt ain’t kidding. You have to me meticulous with corrosive ammo, or you’ll be sorry. I had some I didn’t know was corrosive, and within a week I had rust in the gas system. It was very upsetting.

And I can’t shoot 20 rounds through my M44 without cleaning the damned thing. Is that being too anal? I shoot corrosive ammo and clean it generally as soon as I get home, if not the next day.

If you shoot corrosive ammo, cleaning it at the range before coming home is not too anal or too soon.

I would not wait even one day after using corrosive ammo. They don’t call it “corrosive” for nothing.

I’ve not used Hoppes before, I’m an Outers guy. But I absolutely adore the smell of my solvent. I’m just waiting to run out of my current bottle so I could pick up some Hoppes #9 because I hear it smells even stronger.

However, I’d gladly try the Gunzilla stuff. I just might open the Hoppes / Outers as an air freshener.
