Thought I would share my results with this product. Most regulars here know I mostly use Lucas Oil Extreme Duty CLP and there Extreme Duty Gun Oil. Recently I tried there bore solvent to remove some stubborn copper fouling. So I tried this on my S&W SD40 VE, well it’s not Hoppes, but it did a good job on removing most of the copper, first I soaked the barrel for about 15 minutes.
Then used a bore brush several times, then soaked the barrel again for another 15 minutes. This did a pretty decent job on the fouling. The smell isn’t bad either, grape scent. Also, after using this you don’t have to coat the barrel with oil or CLP, it leaves a coating for protection, unless you are doing a long term storage, then you can coat the barrel like it states on the directions. Just my experience with trying this.
