There are typically two groups of people when it comes to gun cleaning. The first group consists of people who like it and find it therapeutic. The second group is made up of those who consider gun cleaning to be a painful, time-consuming task. Regardless of what group you fall into, Dry Vapor Cleaner (DVC) has a gun cleaning solution to make you happy.
Through its improved technology, DVC has created a chemical-free cleaning system that delivers a high temperature, high-pressure Dry Vapor to clean even the dirtiest of firearms. Dry Vapor Cleaning systems utilize distilled or de-ionized water to create a pressurized water vapor that consists of just four-percent moisture.

I was told to be careful using WD40 around the ammo. Primers can go bad on ammo if that stuff gets on them- great soaking power of that WD40.
But does it take out copper and lead? You can clean powder residue out of a barrel with just about anything.

WD-40 won’t hurt anything once you spray everything with a 150 psi air hose. Just make sure you are using filtered air with no moisture.
Your trigger babies?
I wouldn’t apply any chemical to a firearm that wasn’t designed to be applied to a firearm.
But that’s just me.

You too? I thought I was the only one. I pretty much got to reek of it during my days as an armorer. Found I missed it.

I’ve been using CRC05089 Brake Parts Cleaner for decades, spray, a couple of Q-Tips. On the Slide tracks, Feed Ramp. Another shot of CRC to rinse and a blast from the air nozzle. Oil the Slide trakes. An occasional Bore brushing and oiling.
Interesting - with the right nozzle attachments, this could be good for certain cleaning chores that are convenient to overlook - like the locking recesses in roller-delayed H&K rifle receivers. If the company wants to make real money, though, they’ll direct the marketing towards the AR crowd - cleaning those barrel extensions and such. Oh, and paint the product a nice OD green and make it look like an ammo can. Cha-Ching!
I use brake cleaner.....
But there is a big difference between "clean and ready to fire", and "chemically stripped". A fellow posting on YouTube as TiborasaurusRex has a long series of videos under the title "Sniper 101". He discusses this topic at length in a couple of videos and makes a very good case for using a sub-microscopic bit of gilding metal to fill in the way-too-small-to-see crevices in the bore. IOW, those places that a copper cleaner would react to and give you a blue-green bore patch, but which only serve to slicken up the bore. Personally, I suspect that more bores are worn out by over-use of bore brushes than by a high round count. Just my two cents.....
Read this later.
Yep - Hoppe’s is the smell of FReedom....
Might as well, they’re plastic heh.
And there is the catch. As I was reading down through I was wondering the same thing. The PRIMARY SAFETY REASON a firearm requires regular cleaning is to remove the lead and copper build up from the chamber and rifling lands.
These have to be consistently removed before they start to build up too much and start galling the bullets. The problem can compound very fast if not. Friction and elbow grease are the only way to remove these.
“WD-40 has been used in the gun industry for many years. It is not only safe to use on your gun, but comes highly recommended by many experts in the industry due to its cleaning, rust preventing, moisture displacing, penetrating and lubricating properties.”

What I learned in the Marines was if you want a clean
weapon, have someone else inspect it!
There is usually dirt your brain didn’t want to see.
