Description

SchleTek Carbon Cleaner – Nitro / Black Powder Barrel Cleaner

SchleTek Carbon Cleaner is a powerful barrel and carbon remover developed especially for military use to dissolve stubborn nitro and black powder residues in heavily used firearms. Its highly active ingredients soften and break down even extremely hardened combustion deposits that can form in barrels and chambers over time.

Particularly on heavily stressed weapons, black powder and nitro residues can become baked on and very difficult to remove. SchleTek Carbon Cleaner is formulated precisely for these situations, significantly reducing the time and effort needed for thorough cleaning.

Aim of the Product

This cleaner is designed to remove stubborn combustion residues from barrels and components of black powder and nitro powder firearms. It helps maintain accuracy, reliability and safety by keeping bore and chamber surfaces free from heavy fouling.

Audience

Recommended for:

• Military and law-enforcement armourers.
• Black powder shooters and reenactors.
• Sport shooters using nitro powder in heavily used firearms.
• Gunsmiths and professional firearm maintenance services.
