Is white vinegar a suitable solvent for removing fouling and other particle buildup from firearms?
I only ask as I don't really feel like buying a purpose made solvent if I don't have to.

Hoppes is like 5 bucks and will last for years and years. I still have my original bottle from 2005. Its still half full.
Matthew Powell
So I should just buy Hoppes?
Cooper King
And lubricating oil. Which will also last a long ass time
Luis Smith
Either you got a huge ass bottle or you don't go shooting very much

>5 bucks

midway had the big 32oz bottles on sale for $12 a few weeks ago, not sure if they're still on sale

i got a little bottle of CLP and i use an arrow to push toilet paper down the barrel to clean it.

Lol just go to walmart
The big bottles are cheap
Colton James
Absolutely. You want to go ahead and buff up your bore and barrel with some medium grit steel wool, then just dump the whole gun in a big bucket of white vinegar. Add a handful of salt to it and leave it to soak for a day or two and it'll solve all your problems.

I mean that Walmart is a shit company that doesn't deserve your money.
It's like buying Apple shit.
Jason Sullivan
So, I take it you have never lived in an area where the "worthy" alternative is a few hours away in the opposite direction?
Brayden Allen
I live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and I'm about a mile away from a Walmart.
I understand if it's convenient for people and I guess I can't really fault them for going to Walmart, but I'm not gonna go and give those fucks my money.

OP, if the gun in your picture is yours, DO NOT USE HOPPES 9 ON IT. That is a nickeled Colt. Any solvent that is ammoniated/alkaline like Hoppes 9 is will cause nickeled finishes to peel, and your gun will look like it has a bad case of sunburn.
Julian Kelly
That's just a dirty old gun I found on google, don't worry.
And thanks for the tip.
Andrew Reyes
Simple Green you faggot!

Generally if you want to do something on the cheap, you'll get cheap results.
Easton Hernandez
You don't have to buy absolute upcharged tactical shit. Even soap and water works fine just regrease and lube after.

I make my own “Ed’s Red” by the gallon. Use it in bottles and in a small parts washer. It would clean that gunk In no time. Google it. Liberal tears are optional but lanolin isn’t.
Austin Watson
Ed's red is good as a cleaner but keep in mind it has no rust inhibition properties to it.
