My dad's friend had a NEF Woodsman muzzle loader with a stuck breach plug. My Dad passed it on to me to fix it for him, so...I stuck it barrel down in a padded vise and kept spraying Kroil on it for the last couple of days. I had to make a breach plug wrench for it as he lost his (AND HAD NEVER TAKEN THE BREECH PLUG OUT). Long story short, I got it out and cleaned it all up. I lubed the snot out of the breach plug before I reinstalled it too.

Moral of the story...Kroil is good stuff for getting stuck bolts unstuck. I'm going to be speaking sacrilege for some of you guys, but I think it's better than WD40.



The only problem seemed to be where he left a charge of black powder in it for a long time, and it seemed to have a small rust spot in the barrel right after where the breech plug ended. I took a bronze brush and chucked it up in a cordless drill, and that seemed to smooth it out, but you can sure see a dark spot right there. I don't think it will hurt the accuracy any as the bullet seats farther up in the barrel than there, but to me rust on a gun is just plain wrong.

I found Kroil back in 1989 while working as a machine mechanic. It's great stuff!

Most benchrest shooter use KROIL to clean copper and lead out of guns . Read the reviews , 54 five stars and No four stars . I've been using it for years . I use Hoppe after cleaning with Kroil for lube and storage .

...I gotta get me some Kroil...WD40 is crap...I don't let it anywhere near my guns and tools...it's fine to dissolve stickers...kill fireants...that's about it....

....I've used Kroil for years on just about anything with excellent results...

its a good cleaner that is for sure but I hear its not good to use around black powder.
