Your questions and input help us improve your experience. Listed here are answers to many frequently asked questions by M-Pro 7 customers. We´ve organized them by topic.
How does M-Pro 7 work?
When a weapon is fired, carbon residue is deposited within the bore. The carbon becomes embedded in the micropores of the bore steel. Chips of lead and/or copper from the projectiles break loose and are also deposited onto the bore steel. Each time the weapon is fired additional layers of carbon and fouling are created. Over time, this build up negatively affects weapon trajectory and performance.
At a basic molecular level, M-Pro 7 surrounds the surface of each individual carbon particle with a negatively charged coating causing the carbon particles to repel each other. This forces the carbon particles to break up and separate allowing the carbon and embedded fouling (copper, lead, brass, plastic, etc.) to be easily brushed out.
Traditional solvents remove carbon from the bore, cleaning away loose surface carbon and fouling, but have a limited affect on the carbon bonded to the bore steel and embedded in the micropores. M-Pro 7 removes all the layers of carbon & embedded fouling for optimal weapon maintenance and performance.
If it doesn't smell, how can it work? M-Pro 7 uses a unique blend of chemical technologies containing corrosion inhibitors and surfactants with a non-toxic solvent base to provide superior cleaning without the intense smell. Even on a “clean” weapon, M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner will remove additional carbon left behind in the bore by other gun cleaning products. How often should my firearm be cleaned?
Most weapon manufacturers recommend cleaning every time it is fired. This helps to maintain weapon reliability and extend service life. Weapons are designed to shoot clean. Make sure all weapons are unloaded before cleaning. Everyday "carry firearms" should be cleaned weekly.
Do I need to oil my weapon after I clean it? Yes, M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner will strip the weapon’s surface of all oil and grease. Therefore, re-oiling with M-Pro 7 Gun Oil or M-Pro 7 Cleaner Lubricant Protectant after cleaning is recommended. What type of bore brush should I use? The standard bronze bristle bore brush is more than adequate for general cleaning. Stainless steel is recommended for stubborn fouling removal. Nylon brushes are not effective on embedded fouling. Will M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner harm an unprotected oil finished stock? No, M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner will not damage the wood of the stock. However, it will remove the oil from unprotected wood (varnished wood or plastics do not apply). After cleaning, simply re-oil the stock. Will M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner remove Cosmoline and other petroleum protectants? Yes, M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner will remove protectants. Wipe off excess protectant, then liberally spray or soak parts and stocks in M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner and wipe clean. Will M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner harm night sights? No, M-Pro 7 products will not harm night sights. However, some dot sights are covered with water-based paint that may be removed. Is M-Pro 7 safe on cold bluing, after-market or non-factory finishes? M-Pro 7 products are completely safe on high quality after-market or non-factory finishes. M-Pro 7 Cleaners will not harm the metal, but may strip some weapons of less expensive cold bluing finishes
