RE: What does everyone use to clean there barrels?
 

I use hot soapy H2O and rinse with hot water after shooting. After that I run some hoppes down the barrel. For cleaning between shots out on the range I use a alcohol pads, since I work in the ER I have an endless supply of those.

I use MAP- 2 parts alchohol, 2 parts peroxide and one part Murphy's oil soap. Works great on T7 fouling.

I believe it could, but i also rinse mine with clear hot water and if I am after plastic fouling - I will pour boiling water down the barrel as the rinse - the boiling water removes all oil and plastic from the pores as well as the bore.

I use Zep Citrus Cleaner/Degreaser as the soap and then follower pretty much Powerfisher's directions. Windex, regular windex melts T7 and the ammonia in it is a metal stripper, even though it is very weak + the ammonia evaps very fast and carries h2o with it when it evaps.

I believe that different things work best with different powders.
Pyrodex = citrus soap and very hot water.
APP = same as above
777=Boiling water and Simple Green
Blackhorn 209 =50% #9 and 50% alcohol
