You're right - especially with three dollar gas!

Thanks anyway

Triple F, and 50/50 alcohol, windshield wiper fluid is a good combo.

College Kids at private party, and 50/50 alcohol, and stripper very bad combo. Especially if you throw in a D.A. up for election.

same here, my swab solution for the inline rifles is alcohol and windshield washer fluid. It seems to work for me so I am not changing anything.
Why don't you use that on traditionals?

was wondering do you guys trust that windshield wash? how can you be sure of the % of water and other chemicals in that blue stuff unless its listed. i know you can get the alcohol at 99% and 70% but do you really know whats going in those blue jugs. i know its cheap but i would be worried that a little extra water or other crap in those jugs would make me worried. also isint there ammonia in windshield cleaner? i know ammonia is used in cleaning copper out of a barrel but is kinda harsh and you have to get it all out cause it eats metal over time. just curious?

liquidorange.I was looking at the same problem and went with the winter mixture because they control that so it will notfreeze above certain tempatures; so far it is working quite well. Lee

I might stay away from the winter mixture as that stuff has calcium chloride or something similiar mixed in so you don't have to scrape the frost off your wind shield.

I don't mix my "what ever's the cheapest brand washer fluid" with isoprop alcohol. I do use the straight isoprop. to get out the rem oil or bore butter (which ever I used so my bore wouldn't rust in storage,) before the first shot. In another post I did detail my cleaning regime that works with 3fg 777 and makes the crud ring a none issue.

1. Soak a patch in washer fluid, and run it up and down with the bore brush, not a normal jag. If the fouling is light like most times I just get the brush wet and use that to break everything up.

2. Switch to a loading/general use jag and a dry patch to get all the broken up crud and dry the bore.

3. Using a stiff brush I clean the chamber side of the breech plug.

I truly believe that the whole crud ring thing is because people don't clean enough between shots. Unfortunatly for 777 it means you prettty much clean after each and every.
