The previous users claim that Kano Kroil is not intended for use as a firearm cleaner is not totally true. It may NOT be intended for use as a cleaner but is the ONLY cleaner/penetrating oil I use in both my gunsmith business and for my personal firearms. I've found that if using Kroil consistently the amount of time spent brushing and swabbing barrel and bores will be cut in half. It is suitable for ALL firearms, as I use it on my trap gun, a Parker built in 1882 and newer like my Barrett 82A1 which has never seen anything but Kroil.

* NOTE: This is a PENETRATING lubricant, it's not designed nor intended for use as a firearm cleaning product. That being said, Kroil is the most effective penetrating oil I've ever used, blowing WD-40, Gibbs, Free All, Liquid Wrench, and others completely out of the shop. And that's from over 15 years of personal experience, having tried them head-to-head versus Kroil and other Kano Labs products. Since Kroil works so well as a penetrant, it does a fantastic job of getting between the metal of your bore and any fouling regardless of whether it's powder residue, corrosion, or metallic deposits. I use a wide range of Kano Labs products for various purposes and recommend them all as often and fervently as I can. A week doesn't often go by when I don't have the occasion to recommend someone pitch their cans of WD-40 for Kroil.
