View Full Version : Is kroil that good
I just bought my 1st can of Kroil penetrating oil to clean up some revolvers. i was told it would remove the finest of lead and copper fouling. Is this stuff that good ?
I have a gun soak right now and I will saying the powder fowling is removed from th face of the cylinder and shaft area but I'm kinda skepitcal on the bore and just how much it will loosen up.
Once a year I clean the barrels of my competition Glocks using Kroil Oil and JB's Bore paste. Works for me.
1. soak a patch with Kroil and scrub for 1 minute, let set for 15 to 30 minutes.
2. place some JB's on a bronze brush and scrub for 1 minute.
3. Lightly oil 1 clean patch and scrub.
4. switch to dry patches, as many as it takes for 1 to come through clean.
Kroil can do amazing stuff. Best penetrating oil I've ever used, both for freeing rusted and stuck parts and cleaning bores.

I use it a lot, but since I clean everything very often, I never have had heavy fouling. I use it more for preventive maintenance, than for fouling removal.

Kroil is some of the best penetrating oil out there. I've carried it and used it in the field for years,and swear by it.
Just brush my barrels that I soak last night. I will be off to the range today hopefully at lunch time.

Seems to the stuff to use for the benchrest crowd around here! They use a mix of 1/3 Kroil to 2/3 Shooters Choice right at the bench.

I broke a head off an automotive water pump cover bolt, I got the cover off, but couldn't extract the stud. For giggles I sprayed it kroil and threw it in a closet. I came back across that water pump several months later and removed the stud with my finger tip. It's good, it just takes it's sweat smelling time.

Yea the stuff works good on lead copper I don't think as much, mix it like one guy said shooter choice to Kroil or Hoppes to kroil works very well.
Or just use CLP that is what I started with and just came back to it after 3yrs of trying other stuff best all in one you can get.
