2 cans for 12.00 shipped
I got mine last week thought I pass it on this stuff is outstanding.
I just replaced front shocks on the Jeep 10 year old truck and we all know the bolts are a nightmare on the stud and nut.I soaked it a day before and with a open end and a pair of Vise gripe to hold the stud the bolt broke easy and removed it with my fingers:This Stuff Really Works

[dorothy daily]

this stuff has been around longer than most of us.i have used it on seized engines in antique tractors. sometimes it works and sometime it does not.like everything it has gone up in price,used to buy for $17.00 a gallon.

I came to read about rifle and pistol bore cleaning but found Jeep shock nuts and siezed engines instead. 

Did I miss a Memo?

How does it clean the bore of powder and lead/copper?

[SHOOTALL]

Land-owner its Kroil oil , I have posted on it several times in the past . Put it on a patch wrapped around a brass brush. and run it thru. the bore . If real fouled the soak the bore and let soak. Also it cleans crud out of nooks and crannies with a tooth brush or such. It can be had in a can with a spout or under pressure to spray in tight places. Most any hardware store has it . I always clean it off the gun before i use it as it might kill the primers or powder as it creeps into places

Do not store it in plastic containers, it will creep out of the container.

I cut it 50% with Hoppes, makes a great bore cleaner.

[moorepower]

I always put a Kroil soaked patch thru the barrel after cleaning, or to store. I agree with the above, it is premo penetrating oil.

[Land_Owner]

SHOOTALL - I have got a bad case of CRS and don't remember...but I have a clue for checking the archive now.  Keeping it off of cases and away from primers is GREAT advice...thanks!  If it is a "thin" as I suspect, would it run through a spritzer bottle OK?  And it can be obtained in GALLON containers?

Lefty - If I get one more thing out-of-the-can and creeping around on my floors at night, I might shoot off my own toe!  I like that you can cut it with Hoppes.  Does Kroil have a base smell like Hoppes #9?

I am going to need to get some of those copper scrubby brushes.

[SHOOTALL]

The smell is like a pinesol or so . Its got petroleum distillates in it . and can irritate skin and eyes .  The smell would mix well with hopps #9 i would think.

I've used Kroil on all kinds of stuff. I've read that Kroil penetrates so well thart it will seep under bore leading allowing the lead to be removed with a tight parch. Seems to work that way for me, too. I have a "soak" that I use to clean my guns; about 1 pint mineral spirits, 1/2 cup  Marvels Mystery Oil and about a 1/2 cup of Kroil (I started out equal parts but that doesn't seem necessary). I field strip my guns and soak overnight, then wipe down and run a few parches through the bore. A couple drops of oil here and there (not much needed as the residual oil, M.M.O., lubes most internal parts) and I'm ready to go..

[Lefty Dude]

I shot my Handi/44 and my Cimarron 45 SAA Sunday at the range quite a bit.
The 45 had the usual amount of minor leading in the forcing cone & leade area of the bore. The Handi just the usual powder residue & such. The handi I just run the bore snake a couple of passes thru the bore & chamber.
The 45 SAA I used my chore-boy foil on the bronze brush to cut the minor leading out. Then with the Kroil/Hoppes, a patch on a 45 cleaning jag, half-a-dozen strokes. barrel was clean. Used the same patch for the cylinder chamber. Then the final touch, a patch with 100% kroil and let it soak for a couple of Hours. Followed with a clean patch. SAA is ready for the next shooting session.
If I do not shoot for awhile I will run a patch of G96 in the bore after cleaning.

  Works great on barrel cleaning, lead removal, copper removal, and another related use is using as a release agent on bullet moulds. I know it sounds contrary to anything you have been taught about moulds, but it does work ! You can read more about it here http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=55260 , its also about the best penetrating oil I have tried.

It has taken me thirteen years of shooting my hornet off and on without cleaning to get the groups to start to tighten up. I don't think I want a real good bore cleaner right now. Thanks anyway.     eddiegjr
