Bore Cleaning & Maintenance

Bore cleaning for firearms is of paramount importance due to its direct impact on performance, safety, and longevity. A clean bore ensures accuracy by preventing the buildup of fouling, copper, and lead deposits that can alter a bullet's trajectory. Moreover, it promotes reliability, reducing the risk of malfunctions or misfires, especially in crucial situations. Neglecting bore cleaning can lead to dangerous overpressure situations caused by obstructions or fouling. Regular maintenance also combats corrosion and rust, safeguarding the firearm's structural integrity and extending its overall lifespan. In essence, bore cleaning is an essential practice for responsible firearm ownership, as it not only enhances shooting precision but also guarantees safety and cost-effective preservation of your valuable weapon.

  1. Make sure firearm is cleared and made safe prior to disassembly.
  2. Spray Breakthrough Clean Technologies® through Military-Grade solvent down the bore and allow it to soak for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Soak the bore brush with Breakthrough Clean Technologies® Military-Grade solvent and run it down the bore passing it through several times in order to loosen fouling.
  4. Soak a patch with Breakthrough Clean Technologies® Military-Grade solvent and run it through the bore.
  5. Run a dry patch or patches through the bore until the patch comes out clean.
  6. Repeat steps 2 thru 5 two more times.
  7. Saturate two (2) cotton patches with Breakthrough Clean Technologies® Copper Remover and pass them through the barrel. Allow to soak for 3-5 minutes in the barrel.
  8. Wet a nylon brush with Breakthrough Clean Technologies® Copper Remover and stroke the inside of the barrel 6-8 times. This is followed by another (1) wet patch and then two (2) dry patches.
  9. Repeat Steps 4 thru 5 until bore is clear of fouling and patches come out clean.
  10. Soak a patch with Battle Born High-Purity oil and pass it through the bore to condition and protect the bore (this lubrication option is only recommended for storage reasons since the solvent is pH neutral and will not harm the barrel after it has dried).
