91% rubbing alcohol?

Any one here discover 91+ % alcohol along with carb and or brake cleaner work great for cleaning rifles,,, not talking the barrel,,, just for other miscellaneous parts... ?

NOTE/CAUTION,,,, brake and carb clean is strong stuff test a small area before using on anything other than metal !

I run 91% down the bore especially after using a solvent to neutralize the solvent.

For the bore i use gunslick foam and then bore tech eliminator and then coat with break free CLP, OH and only plastic bore brushes. I let the chemical do the work....

91% alcohol, what is this called at CVS??

I keep a case of 99% ISO on the shelf.

91% rubbing alcohol ! But much cheaper at wally world, than at CVS

Good stuff ! Red bottle can also be used to make home made, lanolin spray on case lube! Best case lube in the world !

I use Ballistol with good results. Are you using things like alcohol, brake cleaner, and carb cleaner because of the lower cost?

I just use a foaming cleaner and patch it out good and a oiled patch if I don't plan to shoot it right away.

Sadly I haven't shot my 270 enough in the past 4 years that it needs cleaning

No i use it because spray pressure will blast out grease, oil, grime and dirt in hard to reach areas and it is quick to dry.

Ether starting fluid works good to ,,,, just dont be smoking while using...

Something to think about. Will watch this thread some more

definitely brake cleaner

What to use for cosmolean?

when I asked at wally, was told they don't carry it, had to order on line.

What uses is the 99% good for?

What all do you need to make the case lube?

Just a quick FYI, if you use some form of alcohol to clean firearms, you'll want to use the highest percentage available, usually 99%. The lower percentages contain water to make up the rest of the volume.

And it will work on cosmoline.

Just use denatured alcohol..thats what i run through my flintlock to evaporate any moisture after cleaning.
