Frequently Asked Questions

How long should Copper Remover be left to work?

According to the manufacturer's cleaning instructions, the agent should be left in the barrel for 3–5 minutes. Then, treat the barrel with a nylon brush and run clean patches through.

Does the agent also remove carbon residues?

It may help remove some dirt, but its main purpose is to dissolve copper residues. Loose soot and carbon should be removed beforehand with a regular gun cleaning agent.

Which brush should be used?

The manufacturer recommends a nylon brush. This prevents copper or brass from metallic brushes from getting onto the cleaning patch and helps to assess the result correctly.

Should the barrel be oiled after copper removal?

Yes. After cleaning, wipe the barrel dry and, for longer-term protection, cover it with a very thin layer of suitable gun oil. Before shooting, remove excess oil from the barrel.

When is BCT Copper Remover the right choice?

Copper Remover is a justified choice when regular barrel cleaning does not remove residues from copper-jacketed bullets or when accuracy starts to change after heavy use.

For everyday light maintenance, a universal CLP or regular gun barrel cleaner is faster. Copper remover does not need to be used after every shooting session unless the barrel's condition requires it.

Our recommendation

Start by removing regular soot and loose carbon. Only then apply Copper Remover to a cleaning patch, run it through the barrel, and let the agent work for 3–5 minutes. Treat the barrel with a caliber-appropriate nylon brush and repeat the process until the patches come out clean. Do not leave the chemical in the barrel for an indefinite period and always follow the usage and safety instructions on the packaging.

After removing copper, dry the barrel thoroughly and run a lightly oiled patch through. If the firearm will be used immediately, remove excess oil with a dry patch before shooting. When maintaining, use gloves and work in a well-ventilated area, and avoid mixing different cleaning chemicals.
