I had to buy a new cleaning kit, the old one was so old that I couldn't find new brushes that fit the threads.
The new kit is a simple Outer's universal kit. It came with a bottle of Tri-Care solution. It's supposed to clean, lube, and protect all in one.
I was cleaning my weapons from shooting last Sunday, (I know, I usually clean them as soon as I get home from the range, but I also drove about 600 miles in the span of less than 48 hours and I was tired), I cleaned my .22 with the Outer's Tri-Care, and then decided to run some Hoppe's number 9 solution through it and see if there was a difference.
I won't use the Tri-Care again! The amount of crude left behind was amazing. The Tri-Care didn't seem to get any of the lead out of the barrel.
I will only use the old stand-bys from now on. I guess that's what I get for hoping that this trend to get everything in one product so you can be lazy and skip a step or two might have actually generated something worth using.
