Description
Birchwood Casey's Bore Scrubber 2-in-1 Bore Cleaner is one of those cans that ends up living on the bench because it just gets the job done. It's a 10 fl. oz. aerosol solvent that attacks and dissolves the full range of barrel gunk you deal with after a range trip or a day in the field, including lead, copper, plastic wad residue, carbon, and powder fouling. The 2-in-1 part is the real hook here: it cleans and it protects, so you're not reaching for a separate rust preventive to finish the job.
What the 2-in-1 in Bore Scrubber Really Means
Most solvents ask you to clean, then follow up with a protectant. This one folds both steps into a single pass. The formula carries rust-preventive additives that leave a protective coating behind after the fouling lifts, which is a nice safeguard if your firearms sit in a safe between outings or you're storing something after a wet hunt. The aerosol delivery lets you push solvent into spots a brush struggles to reach, which is why a lot of folks keep it around for AR bolts and other tight areas.
Where the Bore Scrubber Aerosol Earns Its Keep
It's built to work across the board on rifles, shotguns, and handguns, so a single can covers a mixed collection. Shotgun owners especially appreciate that it handles plastic wad fouling, which not every bore solvent bothers with. Worth knowing before you buy: this formula does contain ammonia, which is part of why it's effective on copper fouling. That's normal for a copper-cutting solvent, just don't leave it soaking in the bore indefinitely.
A Word on the Formula
Birchwood Casey built this one to skip the nastiest stuff. It contains no nitrobenzene, butyl cellosolve, or other highly toxic ingredients, so it's a more agreeable option to work with at the bench. Use it in a ventilated area, give it a minute to do its work, then wipe or patch out the loosened residue. It's a straightforward, dependable pick for routine maintenance from a brand that's been in the gun care game a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of fouling does Bore Scrubber remove?
It's built to attack and dissolve the full spread of barrel fouling, including lead, copper, plastic wad residue, carbon, and powder buildup. That mix makes it a solid all-rounder for shooters who run rifles, shotguns, and handguns. Give the solvent a minute to work, then patch or wipe out the loosened residue.
Does the Bore Scrubber 2-in-1 cleaner also protect against rust?
Yes, that's the 2-in-1 part. The formula leaves behind rust-preventive additives that coat the metal after cleaning, so you get corrosion protection in the same step. That's handy for firearms headed into long-term storage or coming home from a damp day out.
Does Bore Scrubber contain ammonia?
It does. The ammonia is a big part of why it's effective at cutting copper fouling, which is common in copper-removing solvents. As with any ammonia-based cleaner, don't let it sit in the bore indefinitely, and work in a well-ventilated space.
Can I use this on my shotgun as well as my rifles and pistols?
Absolutely. It's designed to work across rifles, shotguns, and handguns, so one can covers a mixed collection. Shotgun owners in particular like that it tackles plastic wad fouling, which a lot of bore solvents leave behind.
