Hoppes is about to run out and there have been a lot of higher-tech cleaners out there in the past 5 years. What are you in love with?
Thanks.

I use Kroil on the bore of my rifles...and hoppes for whatever else...and use just about any sewing oil grade oil or the quart of mobile one I have in the garage for lubricant

CLP for general cleaning. Hoppes for when I want a dedicated solvent. Brake Cleaner for serious cleaning/degreasing.

MPro 7.

The heavy stuff still gets Hoppes but I need to get some Slip 2000 Carbon Killer to try.

I’ve been using Lucas recently. It seems to work well.

Kroil works well, but for a good firearm solvent, I haven't found anything that works better than Hoppes 9.

Plain old stoddard solvent works well, but Hoppes is a good choice on most finishes, most surfaces, and pretty much everything on the firearm. I just picked up a tall bottle.

I use a paint pen to highlight the numbers on my magazines, and to mark them with the pistol, and caliber. I write over the numbers on the magazine, then wipe off the excess. Hoppes takes off everything that isn't number, leaving a nice, crisp white number, easy to read. Hoppes works for all kinds of stuff.

You can mix up a batch of "Ed's Red" bore cleaner yourself. It's a pretty good cleaner.
Just Google it for the recipe.

TM bore cleaning solvent and Gunslick foaming cleaner for rifles.

For pistols I immersion soak the barrels in original Hoppe’s #9 for a few days.

Ed's Red for me.
I add the acetone only for shotgun bore cleaning.
