Thompson Center T17 cleaning products

[doubled]

Anyone use this product? Is the T17 liquid taking the place of their
#13 solvent and cleaner. dd

I use it sometimes for swabbing between shots but I also use a mixture of Windex and alcohol more. I got that idea from this board. From what I've read about it, if you shoot T7 it should be good enough as a bore cleaner before you oil it. I consider myself an over achiever when it comes to cleaning my guns. I'll clean with it or the Windex then I use a bore cleaner, then oil.

Lately I have been using hot soapy water with the bore submerged and then working patches till they are clean or Hoppe's #9
Then I use the Alcohol patches,dry patches and then rem oil.
I think I may have to do the drill thing on my BP,I cant get it as clean as I want.

I've been using Windex & or windshield washer fluid for over 10 years. Tepid water works fine too. I find that olive oil, Break-Free, or WD-40 all work about the same to prevent rust from forming after clean-up.

oilive oil- that's funny... how about a little garlic to add flavor

Colonial gunsmiths used "sweet oil" a.k.a olive oil all the time. I read an inventory from the will of one at Williamsburg that included 8 gallons along with a bunch of gun tool. Olive oil is pretty much all I used on my traditional guns.
