Hoppe's Gun-Solvents

I really like spraying the Hoppe’s foam gun solvent into AR-15 barrels because every part of the barrel is coated. I use it on handguns too, but it’s a star on a rifle barrel. Of course I’ve used Hoppe’s for several decades so I’m not surprised they’ve produced another great product.

Turns blue when it absorbs lead

I've used Hoppe's No. 9 solvent and oil all my life to clean guns after firing them, and always found that they did the job I needed them to do very well. Recently I purchased an M4 and found upon cleaning that the star chamber was very time consuming to clean properly using liquid solvent and patches, not to mention it took a lot of patches before they came out clean. I decided to try a foaming cleaner as a way to save time and effort with the complex surfaces, and Hoppe's seemed like a good place to start. I'm very satisfied with the way this stuff works. The way I use it, I take everything down and fill the chamber and barrel with foam, then stand the gun barrel-down in a tray to catch the cleaner. Then I clean and oil the BCG while it sits. By the time I'm done with the bolt, the foam has decomposed into liquid that runs out of the muzzle with most of the gunk. Then I push a couple of patches through til they come out clean, oil it all up and it's done. It's especially gratifying the way it gets to all the stuff in the grooves of the rifling; something that takes much more patience and effort with the old liquid solvent. It's also a heck of a lot less pungent, though the smell of nitro solvent never bothered me too much. To be fair, it's the first foaming bore cleaner that I've used so I can't speak to how it ranks among it's competitors, but I'll probably buy this again when I run out.

Hopped makes high quality cleaning products. The foam is new to me but it works. Stink is not too bad

Works well.

Great product

I use to spill the solvent a lot this helps and saves you time and money

The use of a fooming gun barrel cleaner is unique and very effective. It works well. .

worked better than any other product i tryed

excellent

Seems to work as advertised. Only 4 stars due to having it come back out the hole I'm squirting it into. Workable, just not perfect.
