C2R cleaning Fest!

[phaedra1106]

Firstly a big thank you to Adam and the Yarners club for having me this morning

Adam was doing a demonstration of C2R and I took along my Steyr to see if it would improve it.

To be honest I wasn't expecting anything to come out as after using my usual Montana X-Treme cleaner the Patch Out & Accelerator I tried didn't find anything at all.

After letting the C2R stand for 25mins I was surprised to see a slightly blue patch emerge from the bore! so obviously this C2R stuff works!!

So, will I be buying some, yes indeed!, anything that works that well is a must have and I look forward to seeing what it finds in my other rifles.

Sounds like some good stuff Adam. I was looking to pop down and see you soon anyway for some powder, primers and bullets. If you have some C2R in stock then I shall pick some up, I have a grotty m91/30 that would certainly feel the benefit from it!

I think every one there this morning was pleasantly surprised and impressed at C2R's effectiveness Jeff.

Hopefully we will be getting more feedback from some of the other happy testers, especially the black powder shooters as I think we have a winner there, might even get Joe shooting black. :lol:

Ian email me what you need so that I can be sure to have it in stock for you.

I'm convinced it does what it say's on the bottle!

I took along my M95 Steyr, which I thought was clean, we ran a dry patch through to clean out the youngs 303 that I always leave in the bore. After standing for a half hour out came the metallic fouling much to my surprise. My pics don't show how blue the patches actually were.

And a old clunker of a No.4 which shows sign of heavy fouling.

I'll e mail you the rest of the schnapps Droomie. tongueout

Thank for the initiative and wow C2R's impact looking good there - glad they happy! :goodjob:

This was after a 25/30 minute soak?!
As for the deep blue patches - the CR2 once the patch is out the deep blue/copper quickly spreads out into the patch and fades a away!
Thats why I love photo's to capture the colour and impact!
JJVC - I bet the carbon streaking was also pretty surprising!?

For deep cleaning the ideal lengths are between 2 and 12/24 hours to get maximum impact!
In fact you can leave C2R in for up to 5 to 8 days and still have every effective deep cleaning!

Ideal length is +- 2 hours (so you use the product effectively in the barrel)
The extra duration obviously removes more copper but also gets more carbon out!
Once the gun is clean - I have found that I tend to do a 1 hr soak plus a 12 hour soak mostly for peace of mind - since very little comes out in the 12 hour soak anyway!

Remember once you get all the OLD gunk out then the maintenance / normal usage clean is much quicker and easier!

Great!

Adam sold me on Ed's Red, and now I've got enough of the stuff to last me until I'm his age! sign01

Here are some more photographs from our C2R Cleaning Fest this morning at the St Giles Yarners Rifle and Pistol Club.

These two show the patches coming out of Jeff's Steyr SSG. Jeff had cleaned this his favourite bore cleaner Montana Xtreme, he had then re-cleaned it with Wipe Out Patch Out and Accelerator as a test and the patches came out clean. Today however after a 25 minute soak with C2R more copper was removed.



The blue on the patch hasn't really come out in this photograph




These shots are of a RC K98 new in with a barrel of unknown condition.




Blue copper covered patch followed by black carbon covered patch, something about a Scandinavian beer and unreachable parts comes to mind.







Next up was a lead shooting Long Lee Metford, this rifle was considered clean by its owner but the C2R took even more carbon fouling out.








The surprise of the day was this BP pistol, having been fired on the range we wiped it down and sponged out the barrel and chambers with C2R and left it for 15 minutes or so. The Pistol was then wiped down with moist patches the barrel and chambers were cleaned out with wet patches also. The BP fouling just wiped away even at the top strap/forcing cone juncture. The powder used was Krankies nutty slack. A skoosh down with WD40 to remove any water residue a further wipe off and oiling and it is ready for the next time.














What can I say but, Phwoarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!
