Can I use any cleaning patch? I have some from Hoppe's and Otis. Thanks

You can do that, and I used to, I just seemed to get them bunched up more often then I liked. Check youtube, search "mail call Mondays" video #9 precision rifle cleaning.

My method is to use a jag. Then cut match what I need and then wrap the jag with it. It is a trick but can be done. I haven't used the loop type. I assume yes. Its just a rod like any other, just a whole bunch nicer.

Works well. Increase dwell time from lacquer. Couple coats before scraping off. No water until end. Scraper, steel wool, then hot water and nylon brush, then pressure washer, then soap and water, then pressure washer. Faster the better when scrubbing off stripper. Commit to it otherwise you'll just have to do it twice. Oxalic acid if you get black spots.

no, you need the .308 boresnake . Hoppe's 24011 BoreSnake Rifle Bore Cleaner, M-16, .22-.223 Caliber, 5.56mm then select .308.

When cleaning any firearm it is commonly accepted practice to run patches, bore snakes, ect. through from the breach to the muzzle whenever it is possible - the same direction the bullet or wad passes through the barrel. This way you aren't pushing the cleaner, powder residue, etc. into the breach.

I see on the bottle it specifically says to NOT use it on "suede, roughout or napped leathers" - but I also see Bick's has their own separate suede and nubuck cleaner. Good luck!

You want cleaner to break up residue in the barrel before using the bore brush. That is why you use the a patch with cleaning solution first. You can use the patch 6 times. Each side of the patch has 3 separate locations where you can insert the bore snake, if done properly it can be used 6 times.

I personally have not had any issue of residue on mine, so not really sure what to advise you except maybe try vinegar/water solution and wipe it down. Good luck and maybe another member can help.

I sanitized with clorox followed by a really good rinsing. Worked fine - the kit is really good!

Oh, I agree with response regarding using Orek cleaners. They are much better than the store cleaners I previously tried.

Or try Bona, my favorite. Bona's microfiber cleaning pads may also fit the mop and they last forever. Have washed mine about 50 times/yr over the over the last 5 years (= about 250 times), still work like new. I left Swiffer in the dust a looong time ago. Way too expensive in the long run.

I believe they were meant to be be used with Otis cleaning method, but I see no reason they cannot be used with a jag. But why not use regular patches which are probably a little cheaper? I shoot both black powder and modern firearms and I use the Otis method on all my firearms with great results.

I had read that Barkeepers was the cleaner of choice.I have used both the powder and the liquid. Both do a good job but I actually prefer the powder. Have not had an issue with it scratching.

My guess is: No. The active ingredients are strong solvents, but the only way to know for sure would be to try using it on a small, unobtrusive patch.

I used a regular household cleaner that I had. Formula 409 or something like that. Definitely something that will remove residual grease or residue.

I think there was a patch kit with ours, but i haven't had to use it. The company was very helpful when i spoke to them before, so i would talk to them. Hope this helps.

I have used Shoe Goop that you can buy at almost any hardware store. It is the best for fixing holes and small tears.
