1 question 20 different ways

my very biased recommendation is ... use C2R

Shotguns have heavy carbon fouling - and additional lead streaking.
The carbon and lead need to be removed to avoid build ups where moisture can build up and cause rust.
Unlike the bores of rifles the gauge of shotguns do present a challenge in terms of application, volume and removal.

Several independent test by members validated that the C2R carbon removal was stunning in shotguns.
Do a search on the site and you will see the results.

last point.. make sure you put a oiled clothe down barrel.

I have used C2R in my barrel, that only ever fires slug, with best results so far.
Also use it on the gas parts and spring/guide rods, using a green scouring pad.
The trigger mech will only get a light drop of oil once in a blue moon and wipe down the externals with oily cloth.

I find a tooth brush helps get in those difficult places and is safer to put in the action than your finger when the bolt is to the rear.

Ok. Thank You guys! Where can You buy this C2R? Can't find it on e-bay, amazon...There are products called all-in-one (solvent, lubrication together). Are they any good?

Ovenpaa tested tested the all-in-ones ie. Cleaner and oils
Some combo cleaners ie Carbon and Cooper work well

2 words : Absolute Crap

You get 1. Cleaners AND 2. Lubricants

The two do NOT mix by definition OIL is carbon based product ......so a CARBON remover will destroy the oil.

These products are developed "marketing companies"

C2R Dealers on the forum are :
