Bore Cleaning

What are the latest thoughts regarding the best techniques and cleaners to keep those Parker bores SHINY

Kirk Merrington has a new fixture designed to hold the barrels firmly but gently for a good scrubbing. It's not only functional but a beautiful piece of gun room furniture in its own right. Check it out for yourself:

Cleaners - Hoppes #9 then some Rem Oil - you're done. A story about #9. My friend smelled like it so much that after he got married and was going out with the bride one night after a shower he didn't smell like Hoppes. The Bride ask " aren't you going to put on your aftershave"?

I normally use them after opening up chokes or after shooting loads with paper wads. Without the plastic shot cup around the shot, the bores need a scrubbing. Other than that, Hoppies #9 works for me.

I like clenzoil. Very gentle. Leaves a thin-film rust prevention layer. Displaces water. Won't hurt your wood. Doesn't smell too bad either. (no offense to the Hoppe's aficionado's out there).
