I AM IN NO WAY NOW NOR HAVE I EVER BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE MANUFACTURER OF BUTCH'S BORE SHINE
A problem I've had for years has been the removal of copper fouling from barrels. Over the years I've tried copper removing solutions from hoppes, sweets, birchwood casey and a number of others that I can't remember.
Invariably if they worked at all it took a good soak and multiple scrubbings. It was a real pain to do though. So I usually ended up with most of the copper out and a streak or two left in the barrel.
I never bothered with Butch's Bore Shine because all the ads and articles I read about it just sounded too good to be true and in my 52 years on this earth it's been my experience that things that sound just too good to be true usually are.
Well - I placed a pretty large order with MidwayUSA last weekend and figured what the hell - why not try some. So I got 4 oz's worth.
In typical Midway fashion my order shipped on Monday and it was in my hands on Wednesday. Bored while waiting for thanksgiving dinner I decided to try out the Butch's on a fouled up CZ75 and my Sig P220.
Butch's is my new bore cleaner (maybe). The copper came out in just minutes on both weapons. On the Sig I swabbed some across the breach face (which looked clean to me) just for the heck of it and couldn't believe the amount of black crud that came off of it.
I'm a believer - this is good stuff. Maybe too good.
It works so well and so fast I'm concerned it may be removing barrel metal.
Anyone else that uses Butch's Bore Shine regularly have any problems with it over the long run? Is it the kind of stuff you should use just every now and then or can it be used regularly?
