The KleenBore GC221 Lead Away Gun Cloth removes stubborn lead deposits and fouling that standard cleaning patches leave behind. This specially treated cotton cloth tackles the toughest residue buildup in barrels, cylinders, and action components without damaging metal surfaces.
What Makes This Different
Unlike ordinary cleaning cloths, the GC221 features a proprietary chemical treatment that dissolves lead particles on contact. Standard cotton patches simply push fouling around, while this treated cloth actually breaks down metallic deposits at the molecular level. The 10-inch square format provides ample surface area for thorough cleaning sessions, outlasting smaller patches by a significant margin.
Key Features
- Chemically treated cotton dissolves lead deposits without harsh scrubbing
- 10" x 10" size covers more surface area than standard 2-3 inch patches
- Safe for all firearm finishes including blued, stainless, and polymer frames
- Works on rifled barrels, revolver cylinders, and semi-auto actions
- Reusable cloth maintains effectiveness through multiple cleaning sessions
- Compatible with all calibers from .22 to large magnum cartridges
- Lint-free construction prevents fiber residue in barrel grooves
High-volume shooters and competitive marksmen rely on this cloth to maintain peak accuracy between deep cleaning sessions. The treated fabric removes copper jacket fouling and lead buildup that accumulates after 200-300 rounds, restoring barrel precision without aggressive brushing. Law enforcement armorers use these cloths for routine maintenance on duty weapons, while hunters depend on them for quick field cleaning in adverse weather conditions.
