Breakthrough Clean Technologies Heavy Carbon Remover – Gun Barrel and Bore Cleaner – All Purpose Degreaser – 6oz Bottle

Description

Light fouling is easy. The problem is the carbon that’s been heat-cycled into the steel and the lead that clings in the bore—especially when round count climbs or you’re running suppressed. Breakthrough Clean Technologies® Heavy Carbon Remover is a water-based bore and parts cleaner designed specifically to break down heavy carbon and lead deposits while neutralizing corrosive residues that can start rust fast.

The formula uses a proprietary blend of surfactants and detergents (manufacturer stated) to lift and dissolve fouling rather than relying on harsh aromatic solvents. It’s intended to be especially effective in the barrel and bore, where carbon and residue build-up can be stubborn. Breakthrough states it helps prevent damaging rust and corrosion and provides temporary protection, while also being formulated to avoid etching or harming barrel steel when used as directed.

Beyond firearms, it’s positioned as an all-purpose degreaser for other mechanical applications—automotive, aircraft, marine, and motorcycles—where carbon, grime, and residue need to be removed without attacking the base material.

Pair it with a proper post-clean lubricant (like a quality gun oil) after the bore is dry to lock in corrosion protection for storage.
