Question 1

How often should you clean your firearm?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of cleaning firearms directly depends on the intensity of shooting, the type of ammunition and operating conditions. However, the basic rule of professional gun maintenance remains unchanged: it is recommended to clean the gun after each shooting.After the shot, inside the barrel and mechanisms remain:gunpowder soot;carbon deposits;copper particles of the shell of the bullet;residues of moisture and aggressive chemical compounds.Even if the firearm looks visually clean, contamination gradually accumulates inside the barrel, which:worsen the merchantability;increase the wear of the threads;accelerate corrosion;increase the load on firearms.Regular cleaning is especially critical for:sporting firearms;high-precision rifle;firearms with a large shot;firearms used in wet environments or field conditions.If the firearm is stored for a long time without use, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the protective grease and renew the preservation.KENOKO recommends performing a thorough cleaning immediately after shooting, until the contamination has had time to harden. It is optimal to use KENOKO Carbon Remover to remove soot, and KENOKO Copper Remover to remove copper.

Question 2

What will happen if you do not clean the gun barrel for a long time?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged lack of cleaning leads to gradual accumulation of soot, copper and aggressive residues of gunpowder combustion products. These contaminants affect the inner surface of the barrel both mechanically and chemically.Main consequences:deterioration of shooting accuracy;unstable ballistics;accelerated wear of threads;formation of corrosion;increased pressure inside the barrel;deterioration of automation.Copper plating is especially dangerous. Particles of the copper shell of the bullet settle in the micro-uniformities of the grooves and gradually form a dense layer. This changes the geometry of the barrel and directly affects the bulkiness of the firearm.If there is no maintenance for a long time, dirt hardens and becomes much more difficult to remove. In severe cases, aggressive mechanical cleaning may be required, which in itself accelerates the wear of the firearm.In addition, powder gas residues often contain chemically active compounds capable of causing hidden corrosion even in modern firearm steels.KENOKO recommends not to delay the maintenance of the firearm. Regular use of cleaning agents will not allow fouling to affect the resource and accuracy of firearms.

Question 3

What is the difference between soot removal and copper removal?

Accepted Answer

Soot and copper plating are two fundamentally different types of fouling, so different chemical compositions are used to remove them.Nagar is:carbon residues;products of gunpowder combustion;oil and chemical deposits.It is usually black or dark gray in color and gradually hardens under the influence of temperature and pressure.Copper plating occurs due to the friction of the shell of the ball against the surface of the grooves. Copper particles are literally melted into the microrelief of the barrel. Copper plating appears especially quickly:at high bullet speed;a big shot;the use of hard shells;intense shooting.The main difference lies in the chemical nature of the pollutants:soot is removed by solvents of carbon deposits;copper needs special reagents capable of destroying copper compounds.Many shooters remove only the visible carbon and ignore the copper, even though the copper itself is often the cause of the gradual loss of copper.KENOKO recommends using a split approach:KENOKO Carbon Remover — for soot;KENOKO Copper Remover — for removing copper;KENOKO Cleaner & Degreaser — for removing chemical residues after cleaning.

Question 4

How to understand that there is copper plating left in the barrel?

Accepted Answer

Copper plating is not always visible visually. Even a seemingly clean barrel can contain a significant amount of copper deposits inside the rifling.The main signs of copper plating:deterioration of merchantability;instability of hits;increased scattering;quick re-contamination of the barrel;blue or bluish marks on patches after using KENOKO Copper Remover with copper indicator.It is the change in the color of the patches that is the main indicator of the presence of copper. During the contact of the specialized composition with copper deposits, a chemical reaction occurs that colors the fouling in a blue shade.It is especially important to control copper plating:on high-precision rifles;sporting firearms;firearms with a long barrel;systems with a long shot.Ignoring copper plating leads to a gradual deterioration of the geometry of the inner surface of the barrel and a decrease in the stability of the shot.

Question 5

Is it possible to use one product for all types of fouling?

Accepted Answer

Universal tools exist, but one must understand their limitations. Different types of fouling have different chemical nature, so the most effective cleaning usually requires specialized compositions.The main types of contamination of firearms:carbon soot;copper deposits;lead;remains of plastic;old grease;traces of corrosion.Versatile tools are convenient for quick field cleaning and regular firearm maintenance. However, with heavy fouling, specialized warehouses work much more efficiently and quickly.A professional approach usually includes several stages:Removal of soot.Removal of copper.DegreasingConservation of firearms.This approach allows:to preserve commerce;extend the life of the barrel;reduce mechanical wear;reduce the risk of corrosion.KENOKO recommends combining specialized products for maximum results. For quick complex cleaning, KENOKO Carbon & Copper Remover is suitable, and for deep professional cleaning, it is better to use separate compositions for soot and copper plating.

Question 6

Are KENOKO products safe for chrome barrels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KENOKO tools are designed for safe use with modern types of firearm steels and coatings, including:chrome barrels;nitrided surfaces;oxidized steel;stainless steel firearms;modern protective coatings of parts.
Chrome plating of the barrel is used for:increasing the resource of firearms;corrosion protection;reduction of wear and tear;simplifying maintenance.
However, even a chrome barrel needs regular cleaning. Soot, copper, and gunpowder combustion products gradually accumulate on the chrome surface and can:impair commerce;increase the pressure in the barrel;accelerate local wear;cause corrosion in micro-damages of the coating.
The greatest danger for chrome barrels is usually:aggressive ammonia compounds;improper mechanical cleaning;excessive use of hard metal ruffs;leaving active chemistry in the barrel for too long.
Modern firearms chemistry must effectively remove contamination without aggressively affecting the metal or coating. That is why not only the cleaning result is important, but also the balance between efficiency and safety.
If you follow the instructions, KENOKO products do not damage chrome surfaces and are suitable for regular professional maintenance of firearms.

Question 7

Are KENOKO products suitable for sporting firearms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sporting and high-precision firearms are particularly sensitive to the condition of the bore. Even a slight accumulation of soot or copper can affect:shot stability;repeatability of results;merchantability;the behavior of the bullet in the grooves.Unlike many other types of firearms, in sport shooting even minimal changes in the geometry or condition of the barrel can be noticeable on the target.The main problems of sports firearms are:fast coppering with a large shot;accumulation of dense carbon soot;local deposits in the chamber area;uneven contamination of cuts.fouling accumulates especially intensively:when using high-velocity ammunition;during dynamic shooting;during long training sessions;in match barrels with high processing accuracy.Many professional shooters pay no less attention to cleaning than to choosing ammunition. Regular complex maintenance allows you to maintain maximum accuracy even with a large shot.

Question 8

Can KENOKO be used for military and service firearms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. KENOKO tools were created taking into account the real conditions of use of firearms in:field conditions;conditions of high humidity;polluted environment;intensive shooting mode.Service and military firearms work in much tougher conditions than civilian ones. Heavy fire, dust, dirt, temperature changes and limited service time create additional requirements for firearms chemistry.The main problems of such exploitation:rapid accumulation of dense sludge;accelerated copper plating;ingress of dust and abrasive into the mechanisms;corrosion after contact with moisture;difficult cleaning after intense shooting.In such conditions, it is important that the tool:worked quickly;did not require complex use;effectively dissolved fouling;did not damage the metal;provided additional protection of firearms.Proper care directly affects the reliability of the firearm at a critical moment.

Question 9

How to clean a smoothbore firearm after shooting?

Accepted Answer

After shooting in a smoothbore firearm, the following remain:gunpowder soot;remains of containers and plastic;lead deposits;combustion products;moisture and condensation.Even if a smooth barrel seems less demanding to maintain, regular cleaning is critical for:corrosion protection;stable fallout;extension of firearms resources;maintaining safe work.fouling accumulates especially quickly:after a large number of shots;when using cheap cartridges;in wet weather;while hunting in difficult conditions.Proper cleaning of smoothbore firearms usually includes:Removal of the main soot.Cleaning of the barrel with patches or jorge.Removal of plastic and lead residues.Application of protective grease.Many owners of smoothbore firearms underestimate the danger of residual moisture in the barrel. Even short-term contact with moisture can trigger corrosion processes.

Question 10

How to properly clean rifled firearms?

Accepted Answer

Proper cleaning of rifled firearms is not just about removing visible dirt, but comprehensive maintenance of the bore and mechanisms.After firing, the rifled barrel accumulates:carbon soot;copper deposits;gunpowder residues;aggressive combustion products;metal microparticles.The main problem of rifled firearms is copper plating. Particles of the shell of the bullet gradually accumulate in the grooves and affect the geometry of the barrel.The basic sequence of proper cleaning:Removal of soot.Removal of copper plating.Removal of chemical residues.Dry cleaning with patches.Application of protective grease.During cleaning, it is important to:use a high-quality ramrod;avoid damage to the crown of the barrel;do not apply excessive mechanical force;use appropriate caliber patches and rugs.The most common mistakes:ignoring copper plating;too aggressive mechanical cleaning;use of inappropriate chemistry;leaving active compounds in the barrel for a long time.KENOKO recommends:KENOKO Carbon Remover — for dissolving dense soot;KENOKO Copper Remover — for controlling copper deposits;KENOKO Cleaner & Degreaser — to remove chemical residues;KENOKO Neutral Lubricating Oil — to protect the barrel after cleaning.Comprehensive care allows you to maintain maximum accuracy and extend the life of the rifled barrel.

Question 11

How to use Cleaning Gel?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning Gel is a thick cleaning composition created for long-term contact with impurities inside the barrel.Unlike liquid products, the gel structure has several important advantages:ultrafine abrasive allows you to safely combine the advantages of chemical and physical cleaningthe product does not drain quickly from the walls of the barrel;active components are in contact with fouling for a longer time;penetration into dense soot improves;cuts are cleaned more effectively.Especially useful gel is:with heavy fouling;after a big shot;for deep service cleaning;when cleaning high-precision barrels.Basic scheme of use:Apply the gel into the barrel.Distribute the product evenly with a patch or squeegee.Leave for a certain time according to the instructions.Remove contamination with patches.If necessary, repeat the procedure.After cleaning, apply protective grease.The gel allows you to significantly reduce the aggressive mechanical impact on the barrel, since the main work is done by chemistry.KENOKO recommends using KENOKO Cleaning Gel in the field for deep cleaning of heavily soiled barrels and firearm maintenance after intensive shooting.

Question 12

Why is Cleaning Polishing Paste needed?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning Polishing Paste is a special polishing and cleaning paste for deep care of the bore.Its main purpose:removal of persistent deposits;soft cleaning of the surface;polishing micro irregularities;improving the condition of the bore.During operation, the barrel gradually accumulates:dense soot;copper residues;microscopic irregularities;solid deposits in metal pores.Even after normal chemical cleaning, some of these impurities may remain in the microrelief of the surface.Polishing paste works more delicately than aggressive mechanical processing and helps:clean hard-to-reach areas;smooth out micro irregularities;reduce the accumulation of new fouling;improve the passage of the bullet through the grooves.The use of paste is especially relevant:for high-precision firearms;after a big shot;for service maintenance;upon restoration of stable commerce.At the same time, the polishing paste should not be used excessively often or aggressively. Excessive mechanical polishing of any barrel is undesirable.KENOKO recommends using KENOKO Cleaning Polishing Paste periodically as part of a deep gun service to maintain maximum accuracy and shooting stability.

Question 13

Why do you need Copper Remover?

Accepted Answer

Copper Remover is a special tool for removing copper deposits that remain in the bore after the bullet passes through.Most modern bullets have a copper or bimetallic shell. During the shot, the shell of the bullet comes into contact with the rifling of the barrel under high pressure and temperature. As a result, copper particles gradually remain on the surface of the grooves. This process is called copper plating.Copper accumulates especially quickly:at high bullet speed;during intensive shooting;in high-precision firearms;when using hard bullet shells.The main problem with copper plating is that copper:changes the geometry of the bore;affects the stability of the passage of the bullet;worsens the merchantability;accumulates new fouling on top of itself.Unlike soot, copper plating is often not visible to the naked eye. The barrel may look clean, but there may already be a significant layer of copper inside the rifling. That is why professional maintenance of rifled firearms almost always includes regular control of copper plating.Copper Remover works by chemically reacting with copper. During the contact of the product with the indicator and copper deposits, patches often acquire:blue;blue;turquoise shade.This is an indicator of the presence of copper in the barrel.KENOKO recommends regular use of KENOKO Copper Remover. Control of copper plating is especially important for high-precision and sports firearms.

Question 14

What is Carbon Remover and why do you need it?

Accepted Answer

Carbon Remover is a specialized tool for removing gunpowder and carbon deposits that form inside the barrel and mechanisms of firearms after firing.During a shot, the following occur inside the barrel:high pressure;extreme temperature;products of gunpowder combustion;carbon residues.Some of these products settle on the surface of the barrel, chamber, gas removal systems and bolt group. Over time, these deposits become compacted and turn into a solid soot.Soot is dangerous because:disrupts the uniform passage of the ball;worsens the merchantability;accelerates wear;complicates the operation of automation;retains moisture and aggressive chemical residues.Soot accumulates especially quickly:with a large attack;in short-barreled firearms;in firearms with a gas outlet;when using cheap ammunition.Without special chemistry, dense carbon deposits are often difficult to remove mechanically, and excessive mechanical cleaning can accelerate barrel wear.Carbon Remover works by:softening of carbon deposits;penetration into the micropores of carbon black;destruction of the fouling structure.This allows you to remove soot much easier and without aggressive mechanical impact.KENOKO recommends using KENOKO Carbon Remover after each shooting for regular cleaning of the barrel, chamber and automatic components. Regular removal of soot helps maintain the stable operation of the firearm and prolongs the life of its mechanisms.

Question 15

Which is better to use Carbon Remover and Carbon & Copper Remover?

Accepted Answer

Both are designed to clean firearms, but they have different purposes and are optimal for different use scenarios.KENOKO Carbon Remover is a specialized tool for removing:dense powder soot;carbon deposits;products of gunpowder combustion;solid black soot in the barrel and mechanisms.Its main advantage is the most effective work with carbon fouling. This tool is especially relevant:after a big shot;with heavy fouling;for deep service cleaning;for firearms with a gas removal system.KENOKO Carbon & Copper Remover is a more versatile tool that simultaneously works with:scalding;copper deposits;combined fouling.It is designed for situations where complex cleaning needs to be done quickly and efficiently without using several separate products. Carbon & Copper Remover is particularly convenient:for regular care;after standard shooting;in field conditions;for rapid maintenance of firearms.To put it simply:Carbon Remover is the maximum effectiveness against soot;Carbon & Copper Remover is a universal solution for comprehensive cleaning.For most gun owners, the optimal solution will be:regular use of Carbon & Copper Remover;periodic deep cleaning with the help of separate specialized means.For high-precision, sporting or service firearms, a professional approach usually includes:Carbon Remover — for deep cleaning of soot.Copper Remover — for complete copper removal.Cleaner & Degreaser — to remove chemical residuesLubricating oil — Preservation and lubrication after cleaning.KENOKO recommends:KENOKO Carbon & Copper Remover — as a universal tool for regular care;KENOKO Carbon Remover — for deep cleaning of heavily soiled firearms or after a long shot.

Question 16

Do you need to degrease the firearm after cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After using an active firearm chemistry, it is very important to properly complete the firearm maintenance process. Many cleaning agents not only dissolve soot and copper, but also leave it in the barrel:residues of active reagents;dissolved fouling;chemical components of cleaners;oily or reactive residues.That is why professional gun cleaning does not end after using Carbon Remover or Copper Remover. After deep cleaning, the metal becomes maximally open to:moisture;oxygen;condensate;aggressive combustion products.If, after active chemistry, oil is immediately applied without intermediate cleaning, the following may remain in the barrel:copper residues;cleaner reaction products;dissolved soot;excesses of active chemistry.That is why proper professional cleaning of rifled firearms consists of four stages:Carbon Remover — Carbon Remover.Removal of copper - Copper Remover.Complete cleaning and degreasing — Cleaner & Degreaser.Protection and preservation — Neutral Lubricating Oil.Cleaner & Degreaser is a critical intermediate step between active chemistry and oil application.His tasks:remove the remains of cleaners;remove chemical reaction products;clean the metal surface;completely degrease the barrel;prepare the metal for conservation.After complete cleaning and degreasing, a thin protective layer of oil is applied to the metal surface. An excess of oil is undesirable because:accumulates dust;keeps dirt;can affect the operation of automation;increases the amount of soot when firing.Proper conservation is a thin, uniform protective layer without excess.KENOKO recommends the following professional care regimen:KENOKO Carbon Remover.KENOKO Copper Remover.KENOKO Cleaner & Degreaser.KENOKO Neutral Lubricating Oil.This sequence ensures:maximum barrel cleanliness;stable merchantability;effective protection against corrosion;proper preparation of firearms for storage or subsequent firing.

Question 17

Can different gun cleaners be mixed?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended to mix different chemical compositions directly. Even if both products are intended for cleaning firearms, their components can:neutralize each other's action;lose efficiency;engage in unwanted chemical reactions;form aggressive compounds.Mixing can be especially dangerous:ammonia means;strong solvents;aggressive copper chemistry;unknown universal compositions.Professional firearm care does not involve mixing, but the consistent use of different tools.The correct scheme looks like this:Applying a soot agent.Removing contamination with patches.If necessary, use a copper agent.Complete removal of chemical residues.Application of protective grease.Such an approach:ensures maximum efficiency;allows you to control the cleaning process;reduces the risk of barrel damage;makes care more predictable.It is also important to remember that even the remains of one agent in the barrel can affect the work of another. That is why it is advisable to use dry patches between cleaning stages.KENOKO recommends using the products in sequence and not mixing them together. For regular comprehensive care, the optimal solution is KENOKO Carbon & Copper Remover, which already combines the necessary properties in a balanced formula.

Question 18

Why don't KENOKO products have a strong ammonia smell?

Accepted Answer

Most classic copper strippers have historically been ammonia-based. It is ammonia that has been used for decades as the main component for dissolving copper deposits in the shaft.However, ammonia formulations have a number of significant disadvantages:sharp aggressive smell;irritation of the eyes and mucous membranes;discomfort when working in a closed room;aggressive effect on metal with improper use;risk of barrel damage with prolonged contact.That is why many shooters associate gun cleaning with a strong "chemical" smell. Unlike many traditional products, KENOKO contains no ammonia at all.This means:absence of strong ammonia smell;more comfortable cleaning of firearms;less irritation during work;a more modern and balanced approach to cleaning;safer regular use.At the same time, the absence of ammonia does not mean a decrease in efficiency. In addition to the comfort of the user, the absence of ammonia also helps to reduce the risk of an aggressive effect on the metal, make the cleaning process more controlled, and minimize the risks of improper use of the product.

Question 19

What patches are better to use for barrel cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Patches are one of the key elements of proper gun cleaning. They are the ones that come into contact with the surface of the barrel during chemical application, carbon and copper removal, cleaning after solvents, application of preservative grease and control of barrel cleanliness. Cleaning efficiency largely depends not only on chemistry, but also on the quality of the patch itself and the correct selection of its size.One of the most common mistakes is using the wrong size patches. A patch that is too small does not sufficiently press against the walls of the barrel, cleans the rifling poorly, does not ensure uniform contact and leaves part of the impurities inside the channel. A patch that is too large creates excessive drag, overloads the ramrod, can jam in the barrel, and increases mechanical stress on the rifling and guides.That is why patches must be selected according to the caliber of the firearm and the type of holder or adapter used. For rifled firearms, it is especially important that the patch is in close contact with the surface, passes evenly through the rifling, does not lose its shape under load and does not leave lint or threads.KENOKO patches of the second generation are not made of classic cotton, but of a special synthetic non-woven material. A feature of this material is a membrane structure with a large number of microscopic air channels inside the fibers. During passage through the barrel, such a structure better retains dirt, absorbs the remains of solvents and lubricants, ensures uniform contact with the walls of the barrel and reduces rubbing of dirt on the surface.Unlike many cotton patches, the synthetic material does not leave a pile, does not flake, does not tear when passing through tight cuts, and does not break down under the influence of firearms chemistry. This is especially important when working with copper strippers and deep cleans.The material also has high mechanical resistance, but at the same time remains soft enough for safe contact with the barrel and protective coatings.For the most effective cleaning, it is important to select the correct patch gauge, use a quality holder, change patches regularly during cleaning, and not reuse heavily soiled patches. A properly selected patch allows you to clean the barrel more efficiently, reduces the number of ramrod passes and helps avoid excessive mechanical stress on the firearm.

Question 20

Why does firearm grouping accuracy decline?

Accepted Answer

Deterioration of the pile is almost always associated with a change in the conditions of the passage of the bullet through the barrel. Even minor contamination or changes in the surface of the channel can affect the stability of the shot.The most common causes are carbon deposits, copper plating, uneven rifling, barrel wear, ammunition problems, or mechanical damage.Marketability is especially strongly influenced by:copper deposits;dense carbon soot;contamination in the chamber area;remnants of old chemicals or lubricants.During the passage of the bullet, even a small change in the surface of the barrel can change:friction;bullet stabilization;powder gas pressure;shot repeatability.This is especially noticeable in sports and high-precision shooting. firearms can start to "scatter" shots even without obvious external reasons. It is also important to understand that excessive cleaning or aggressive mechanical processing can also have a negative effect on merchantability. That is why professional maintenance of firearms should be regular, but controlled.Timely cleaning helps maintain stable bore geometry and predictable ballistics.

Question 21

How dangerous is corrosion inside the barrel?

Accepted Answer

Corrosion is one of the most dangerous processes for any firearm, as it gradually destroys the surface of the metal and can significantly reduce the life of the barrel.Even modern firearm steels do not have absolute protection against corrosion. After firing, the following remains in the barrel:moisture;aggressive combustion products;residual solvents;carbon and metal microparticles.If the firearm is not properly cleaned or left without preservation, these factors can trigger the metal oxidation process. Corrosion is dangerous because:destroys the surface of the cuts;worsens the merchantability;accelerates the accumulation of fouling;creates microdamage;reduces the resource of the barrel.In the early stages, corrosion can be almost imperceptible, but even small pockets of rust change the microrelief of the surface. Corrosion develops especially quickly:in a humid environment;during long-term storage without lubrication;after contact with water;with residues of aggressive chemicals in the barrel.Proper cleaning includes not only the removal of dirt, but also the full protection of the metal after cleaning. KENOKO recommends that after using Carbon Remover and Copper Remover, you must use KENOKO Cleaner & Degreaser to remove active chemical residues, and then apply KENOKO Neutral Lubricating Oil to protect the barrel from corrosion.

Question 22

How to store firearms after cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Proper storage of the firearm after cleaning is no less important than the cleaning itself. Even a well-cleaned barrel can begin to corrode if the gun is stored improperly.After cleaning, the metal surface should be:cleaned of chemical residues;dry;protected by a thin layer of grease.It is especially important not to leave in the barrel:active solvents;remains of Copper Remover;wet patches;excess oil.An excessive amount of grease is also undesirable, as it accumulates dust and dirt.Optimal storage conditions:dry room;stable temperature;minimum humidity;good ventilation.During long-term storage, it is advisable to periodically check the firearm, especially in the season of high humidity.

Question 23

What to do with firearms after rain or high humidity?

Accepted Answer

Moisture is one of the main factors that accelerate the corrosion of firearms. Even short-term contact with rain, condensation or high humidity can trigger metal oxidation processes, especially if there are already traces of powder gases or salts on the surface. After contact with wet firearms, it is desirable to service them as soon as possible.Special attention should be paid to:barrel channel;chamber;closed group;parts joints;hidden cavities where condensate can accumulate.The most dangerous situation is when moisture is combined with residues of soot or aggressive chemicals. In this case, corrosion can start much faster even on modern steels and coatings. After rain or working in a wet environment, it is recommended:Dry the firearm completely.Clean the barrel and mechanisms from dirt.Remove the remains of old grease and moisture.Apply a new protective layer of oil.It is especially important not to leave the firearm in a closed case after contact with moisture. Condensation often accumulates inside the cover, which accelerates corrosion.KENOKO recommends that after using the firearm in wet conditions, use KENOKO Cleaner & Degreaser to remove moisture and residual dirt, and then apply KENOKO Neutral Lubricating Oil to protect metal and mechanisms.

Question 24

What mistakes are most often made when cleaning firearms?

Accepted Answer

One of the most common mistakes is irregular cleaning of firearms. Many owners postpone maintenance after firing, due to which soot and copper deposits have time to consolidate and make further cleaning much more difficult.Also common:ignoring copper plating;use of inappropriate chemistry;excessive mechanical cleaning;incorrect selection of patches;the use of metal tools that can damage the barrel;leaving the active chemistry in the bore too long.Another common problem is incorrect service sequence. Some users immediately apply oil after active chemistry, without removing the remains of solvents and reaction products. This can worsen conservation, accelerate re-contamination, affect the stability of the shot.Excessive use of lubricant is also a mistake. Too much oil accumulates dust and combustion products, which subsequently complicates the operation of the mechanisms. Too aggressive cleaning can be dangerous for high-precision firearms. Constant use of hard rags or abrasive materials can gradually accelerate the wear of the barrel.KENOKO recommends using a sequential care regimen: Carbon Remover for scale, Copper Remover for copper plating, Cleaner & Degreaser for cleaning and degreasing, followed by Neutral Lubricating Oil for protection and preservation.
