Question
QUESTION: Dear Kent,
sorry to trouble you again......I have finally purchased the gas operated Browning gold fusion evolve and although I have only fired a dozen of shots with it I have nothing to complain about....but when it comes to cleaning I am at a loss....as I have never had a gas operated gun before....what solution/chemical is best to use to cleanse its gas operated parts....those parts that get dirty I mean....sincerely hoping to hear from you soon I thank you in advance.
sincere regards.

ANSWER: I'm betting that you have a lot of different products in Malta than what I have here. I just use a good powder solvent to clean my Beretta. There's a newer foaming barrel cleaner that I like too. I block one end of the barrel with paper tissue, and fill it with the foam. I later clean it out with a swab. I put a light coating of oil on metal parts when I store the gun for the season.
Regards,

Answer
I checked the bottles today at a large gun store, and they didn't list the specific ingredients. Just said, "petroleum distillates." Must be their "secret formula." The top three brands were: Hoppes #9, Birchwood Casey Gunscrubber (foaming), Shooter's Choice, and Breakfree Powder Blast. Really, any good powder solvent will do the job.
Good luck!
