Overview

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

The standout feature is that it removes several fouling types without ammonia. For precision shooters who need to track copper buildup across shot strings, that makes it easier to run one consistent cleaning process instead of alternating between carbon solvent and copper remover.

Application follows standard bore cleaning procedure: wet the bore with a saturated patch, let it soak for routine cleaning, follow with a nylon or bronze brush, then run dry patches. The non-ammonia formula is designed for extended soak safety, 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.
