Whats up guys. Recently ive been noticing a buildup of what appears to be copper in my Glock barrel. Of course, at first i thought it was excessive carbon fouling but upon further instigation(as well as consulting some guys on the forum here) I have narrowed it down to copper fouling. Just seeing if anyone else had had this problem with any specific ammo? Ive been shooting Rem, Wini, and Herter's Select Grade(aka Sellier & Bellot). Also, what have you guys found to clean copper buildup best? Thanks!!!

I've never found and copper build up in any of my barrels. I use Hoppes No.9 and a phosphor-bronze brush which I guess keeps it down.

I have read about this stuff. Seems to have great reviews

Hoppes No 9 does the job if you keep up with it. Hoppes also makes a copper solvent which works better. It's important to let the solvent soak for a while. Let the solvent do the work not the brush.

Hoppes No.9 Also smells like death, I forgot the one I use but it works as well and has no odor. Ill have to check the bottle.

Started using this last year and never looked back.

I've posted this before, so I will post the URL for a bunch of homemade firearm cleaning products from the Father Frog web page. These products work!

Agreed...Hoppes No.9 is just completely noxious.

^^I've been known to use Hoppe's #9 for aftershave, lol!  A lil' dab behind each ear and the Ladies fall-over passed-out...  Saves on buying several bar drinks, lol!
