I used hoppes, until somebody showed me the light....lol
I took there advice and bought the MPRO, and was on my way to test it.
I got home and cleaned 1 handgun (S&W) and 1 rifle (Ruger10-22)very well with the hoppes, than left them sit over night and cleaned them both again the next day with MPRO, the patches came out almost as dirty as the pre-hoppes patch with all the build up that he hoppes had left behind...I WAS AMAZED. From that point I ordered a gallon of MPRO7 and have used there products ever since.
I also had a GLOCK 30 barrel that had been long term neglected by the PO for 11 years, it had such a build up on the feed ramp and in the rifeling just outside the chamber that I could not scrape it away with a dental pic and hoppes or tetra solvent, I left it soak in a tub of MPRO for 5 days and than was able to remove it with an elastic bore brush.
just my $0.02
