I was just wonder if any one has some knowledge of BP cleaners, as well as for the "substitute" powders?
Currently I am using some T/C patches that are presoaked and a lot of elbow grease. Some time I use carburetor cleaner when the stuff is caked on.
Any advise would be welcome.
Jerry

Equal parts hydrogen peroxide, denatured alcohol, and Murphy's oil soap. Works a treat.

Again thanks,

I Use T/C number 13 solvent at the range. At home I use hot water, Dawn dish detergent and scrub away.

Pretty much any deteregent/water mix will clean BP residue just fine.

You mean the old Army thing of using "hot soapy water", I have done that to my cap and ball revolver.
