Overview

Bore Tech Eliminator solves a common annoyance in gun cleaning: needing separate solvents for carbon and copper fouling. This dual-action formula handles both fouling types in a single product, using a non-ammonia chemical pathway that is pH balanced and classified as non-hazardous. The result is a cleaner that works as aggressively as traditional solvents without the fumes, toxicity, or finish damage risks. It is safe on all barrel steels including chrome-lined, chrome-moly, and stainless steel bores.

The standout feature is the color-indicating patch system. As you run wet patches through the bore, the solvent changes color based on what it is removing: blue indicates copper fouling being dissolved, green indicates carbon fouling being lifted. This eliminates guesswork from the cleaning process. You keep running patches until they come out the same color as the solvent went in. For precision shooters who need to track copper buildup across shot strings, this feedback is genuinely useful rather than gimmicky.

Application follows standard bore cleaning procedure: wet the bore with a saturated patch, let it soak for 3-5 minutes for routine cleaning (longer for heavy fouling), follow with a nylon or bronze brush, then run dry patches. For stubborn copper deposits from high-velocity jacketed rounds, a 15-20 minute soak cycle brings out more material. The non-ammonia formula means you can leave it in the bore overnight without risk of etching or pitting, which is a real advantage over ammonia-based copper solvents that require careful timing. Available in 2oz through 16oz bottles, with the 4oz size fitting most range bags.
