Brownells - Using JB Bore Paste and Kroil with the VFG Bore Pellets

Published on May 1, 2010
Duration: 3:09

This guide details a professional bore cleaning technique demonstrated by Jon Wittwer from Brownells. It focuses on using JB Bore Paste and Kano Kroil with VFG Bore Pellets to prepare and clean firearm bores, especially for benchrest shooting standards. The process aims to remove tough deposits and polish the bore, reducing future fouling.

Quick Summary

Expert firearm bore cleaning involves using Kano Kroil as a penetrant, followed by VFG Bore Pellets saturated with Kroil and coated in JB Bore Paste. Push these through the bore 20-30 times with a bore guide for superior polishing and fouling removal, a technique favored by benchrest shooters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended method for cleaning a fouled firearm bore using specialized products?

For a fouled bore, first apply Kano Kroil and let it penetrate. Then, saturate VFG pellets with Kroil, apply JB Bore Paste, and push them through the bore 20-30 times using a bore guide. Finally, swab out the residue and apply lubricant if storing.

How can VFG Bore Pellets be used to prepare a new firearm's bore?

VFG Bore Pellets can be used before initial firing to prepare a new firearm's bore. This process can reduce fouling during the break-in period by creating a solid base that conforms tightly to the bore's lands and grooves.

What are the key products used in the Brownells bore cleaning demonstration?

The key products demonstrated are JB Bore Compound (an abrasive paste), Kano Kroil (a penetrating oil), and VFG Bore Pellets (cleaning pellets). Hoppe's Elite Gun Oil is also mentioned for post-cleaning lubrication.

Why is using a bore guide important during the JB Bore Paste cleaning process?

Using a bore guide is crucial when pushing pellets with JB Bore Paste through the bore. It ensures proper alignment of the cleaning rod, preventing potential damage to the chamber and muzzle while facilitating consistent pressure.
