I have a couple of Mosin Nagant rifles that I shoot quite often. For grins and giggles I shot them both 40 rounds each and used Montana Extreme bore solvent to clean them with. I would wet a patch, soak the bore let it sit an hour or so and run dry patches until clean. I repeated this three process times with each rifle.

Next, I made sure the barrel was level in the gun clamp and sprayed WIPE OUT into the bore for 5 seconds. The foam does not stink, does not harm your hands or the rifle finish. By trial and error I learned that 5 seconds filled the bore until some foam appeared at the chamber.

I let the rifle sit for about 2 hours and ran a patch. It was covered in bright blue copper fouling. I was amazed to see how effective this product is in removing copper and carbon from barrels.

To see it beat Montana Extreme shocked me but both rifles reacted the same, the WIPE OUT test proved there was a lot of copper and carbon left even after using the liquid stinking type products.

I will use up all my other copper removers and stick to this easy to use spray product. It works great.

  Thanks for sharing. I too use Montana extreme. I t works ok, but to me cleaning guns is a chore rather than an adventure. The quicker the better, and without using a billion patches. I'll give it a whirl.

  Thanks for the review Bruce, I might have to try it. I use the Outers foaming bore cleaner, but still need to use some copper cleaner for stubborn bores. After doing some research on the product you recommend, you might want to get one of these:

  Sharp Shoot R Wipe-Out Applicator Spout
  The Wipe-Out applicator spout applies Wipe-Out from the breach. Fits all Wipe-Out cans. Eliminates waste. Reusable.

  
  

  Since The foaming bore cleaner I used came with a hose, I found this to be a mess saver:

  Gun Cleaning Splatter Box and Patch Catcher Trap by MTM - Great for cleaning kits
  Ideal solvent splatter box and patch catcher trap for cleaning you firearm by MTM

  There's also the accelerator:

  I don't think you will ever need a copper cleaner again after using wipe out! This stuff took copper out of the barrel after it was already cleaned with Montana extreme. It also eats carbon. I was amazed how much carbon came out of a already "clean barrel".

  Another fan of Wipe Out here. Might have to try the accelerator too.
