What solvent do you use to clean your firearm?

[Bodhisattva]

Easy-off oven cleaner...

Wussy. I put ‘em all in the dishwasher and use Cascade.

Last few years strictly Hoppes #9 & M-Pro 7, both cleaner & oil. Just got some KG-12 to try out for copper.

Started using Hoppes as a kid, and still do. As far as I knew, that's all there was.I use automatic transmission fluid as an oil, and believe it would work just fine as a cleaner if I had to put it to that use. I say that based on a mechanic friend saying he'd seen plenty of gummed up engine internals, but never a dirty transmission. Hmmm. Why I lube my bores with it. Might be totally wrong, but it feels right.

Valve grinding compound thickly coated on a cotton patch cut specifically from the skid mark part of 3 day worn skivies.
This,put on a steel jag of one bore size larger than the weapon.

I'll video when you try to put that one size larger jag through the bore.

I'm thinkin' a three-pound hammer to drive that jag through ought to do. Maybe one of those waffle-faced framing hammers, just in case you miss. It'll add charater, to you and the gun.....

Kinda where I got my trans fluid inspiration from. I'll also confess to using brake/parts cleaner on some parts, and I use it to clean my bore brushes and mops when I'm done; just like new.

[Josh03]

I use shooter lube solvent, and brakeclean then I use battle Born oil on handguns and owl shit on my ar bcg

 

[candipogo]

and smells like durdy socks and stank underpants...

I think this thread is like asking car guys what kind of motor oil they use. A thousand answers for that many reasons..

 

[Pierre]

However, I still like the smell of Hoppes #9 the best. It's like an aphrodisiac. Pro - This would be at my top of the CLP list. Con - This stuff is not cheap to purchase, but as they claim, "a little goes a long way."
