Guys, have any of you tried Shooters Choice bore cleaner and/or Shooters Choice Copper Solvent? I own a business refinishing/restoring military surplus rifles and I have taken in some pretty nasty guns to bring back to life....Some Turkish Mausers, Yugo SKS's have bores worse than ANY Mosin Nagant I have ever seen. Sewer Pipes, totally brown. The shooters choice is like any other bore cleaner (like Hoppe's) except a little better, but the Copper Solvent is really powerful. It is ammonia based-you saturate your barrell with it, let is sit and work for about 5 minutes and then go after it with a patch and/or brush. It lets you know that it is working by turning patches blue if there is copper that is still present. By alternating back and forth between the two products, I have brought some nasty barrells back to life......and my experience is that if you get that newly refreshed barrell back out to the range as often as possible (with cleaning immediately afterwards) will actually get that barrell back into shape, so to speak.

Theres my $0.02.....
