Page 3 - J-B Non-Embedding Bore Cleaning Compound Reviews

Does just as its reputation/namesake implies-cleans the bore of all lead fouling/lube. Polished the rifling and helps in accuracy. Performed recrowning/barrel lapping on both of my airguns with exceptional results. Highly recommended!

Nothing.

A must have!

This product cleaned out my barrel very well. It seemed non-abrasive and worked nicely.

I would make the consistency of the product a little thinner, so it is easier to remove completley from the barrel.

Like others have said, use only a small amount of this product while cleaning. It works well but if you use too much it will take too many cleaning cloths and silicone/solvent to clean out the excess.

The stuff works! Use as directed, especially on new barrells. Saves hundreds of rounds and hours of break-in of new and badly fouled barrells!

Nothing

This is a mild abrasive and its effectivness is at least partly due to a very small amount of the barrell being eroded away. The effects are controversial, with some saying the product does not harm barrells and others opinionating that too much cleaning with the product is harmful. My experience says it works on new and badly fouled barrels, and because it is an abrasive, I will be judicious in using it, but use it, I will!

Will clean out lead residue.

Even if you use a small amount it takes a bunch of patches to completely wipe out this proves that the stuff is a high detergent mixture. Maybe some other products are easier to use and give the same results.

The label has a cancer warning good idea to use disposable rubber gloves.

It does a good job cleaning. I picked up a pair of older Red Ryders that had been neglected. I worked on them to restore them to firing condition. This compound may seem like overkill for a smooth bore, but used judiciously, it removed 10-15 years of accumulated crap. Both guns fire almost like new and very accurately.

Nothing-good to go as is.

Try it.

Worked as it should. Easy to use, removes buildup and deposits with careful cleaning. Actually does not smell bad at all.

A little goes a long way, load your brush up to much and it gets a little messy! It's a very small container for the price.

I bought the J-B to throughly clean my RWS 34 pro as I had a little accuracy issues. After cleaning "very dirty bore" I noticed it had a poorly finished crown so I refinished it and what an improvement it has made!

A little bit goes a long way. This little tub will last a long time. Perfect for your barrel cleaning needs!

Every air gunner should have this on their supply list especially for that initial barrel cleaning.

works vary well.

not a thing.

not messy, and real easy to use. takes me about 10 minutes to clean a barrel. before cleaning had poor or inconsistant grouping. after cleaning have teight and consistant grouping, vary pleased.

I have used this product for probably 50 years and it works.

Nothing.

May work better for firearms but it is worth having on hand for airguns as well. Use as directed.

very easy to use no smell at all. and a little go's along way!

price kinda spendy.

Not messy. The consistency makes it easy to use and clean up.

Nothing.

The product works as described, and does the job well.

Easy to use, easy to clean up, makes bore shiny and clean.

Nothing.

This product does exactly what it claims to do, and does it well. A little goes a long way- one small jar should last years.

Best cleaner on the Mkt

none

I see a lot of "It's messy". Well I guess it is if you use too much. I have used this for years and years. Just a tiny dab, about the size of a split pea or smaller will clean a .22. I pinch it and then pinch a Mop or patch I will wrap around a brush, run it through the bore several times (depends on how dirty the bore is but between 10 and 30), then run a lightly oiled patch to prevent rust. Can't get a bore cleaner. Larger calibers I use more and it can get messy but wipes up easy enough.

Sure does clean, leaves the bore clean and shiny. It removes stuff that other chemical cleaners don't. Try it and you won't use anything else.

Nothing

Awsome product!!! It is by far the best bore cleaner I have used. You use a ver small quantity and can scrape every residue from your bore. It will not harm your bore in any way, and gets it cristal clean. It is great for air arms, but can be used in fire arms too, with the same great result. It is a must have for gun cleaning and maintenance.

None.

It is a must Have !!! When you use it for the first time (only the first time, after that will be really easy to use), be sure to have some wipes and plenty cleaning patches, because it can get messy. Residues acummulate over the time, even if you clean it often. This cleaner will get out every single residue from your bore, even it is many years old. I cleaned a 60 year old rimfire with amazing results. Can use it to remove lead, carbon, powder and copper residues.

It's easy to use and realy cleans the bore.

don't know what would make it better.

Great stuff. I followed instructions on the PA Blog to the letter. Rifle is shooting much better.

Review the PA Blog on cleaning your air rifle, very important.

It works Great, Cleans my 22 cal Discovery very easily.

Can't think of anything to change.

Good stuff. Fill a nylon bore brush with it , have at it, and follow up with patches until they come out clean. Do all of this from the breech end of the air rifle or pistol of course.

Figure a way to make it smell like Hoppy's Number 9

Works great. Easy, one step cleaning.

Use this on a bore mop or a nylon brush, or coat patches with is and pull through. Works really well on Chinese and other lower-price guns, which usually arrive with a lot of corrosion and "gunk" in the barrel.

Wear latex gloves when using, it's messy.
