I had some time to kill today the weather outside is hot 90 degress or better,AC is the way to go.
I got my flinters out of the gun safe to do a little cleaning with brownells J@B bore paste.
I can't belive what a great job this stuff does,shines the bore to a gloss finish ,I been using this stuff since the late 60's anyone else on the board use this stuff?
 
I use it mainly on dark bores of old military rifles. I do like it. I don't use it on good bores though.
 
New for me to! but maybe Brownells J-B Bore Bright, stock.nr. 083-065-100?
ARILAR :: :thumbsup:
 
I heard about it and started using it just weekend before last. Swabbed the bore with the + a few times before I left the[url] range..made[/url] it really easy for cleanup when I got home.

This weekend it worked great...until somebody :eek: forgot it was Powder-Patch-Ball, and just went Patch-Ball ::
Then it helped me pull the ball slick as a whistle.

This is the stuff I use. It is primarily for removing lead fouling from centerfires, but is a VERY, VERY mild bore lapping compound and removes crud and high spots from muzzleloaders. I'd rather have to do 200 repetitions to minimally smooth a bore than grind away and harm it in 15 with a harsh abrasive.

I think the Lewis Lead Remover for pistols used to recommend it, which is where I first came across it.
 
I've been using it about 40 yrs. in centerfire rifles, never used it in a muzzleloader, it used to be of a finer consistency, kinda lumpy now, still works the same but where you can't push it out the other end of the barrel might be hard to remove. It's mainly used for removing copper fouling and the fouling associated with some types of smokeless powder.
 
This is a great product for those that find "cut" patches after shooting. I use it on the patches while shooting and after awhile it takes the sharp edges off the rifling!
 
I do not wish to seem rude, but if you are shooting patched round ball, what are you removing from your bore aside from some graphite?

When I look at mine, I see no rust or pitting. The patches come clean. As I shoot patched round balls only, I see little reason to polish my bore as it does not cut patches.
