Description
Cleaning a muzzleloader after a range day or a hunt has never been anyone's favorite chore, and CVA built the Barrel Blaster Foaming Bore Cleaner to take most of the elbow grease out of it. This is a 7 oz aerosol that dispenses a thick foam directly into the bore, where it clings to the walls and goes to work breaking down the crud that black powder and substitutes leave behind. You spray it in, walk away, and let the chemistry handle the part you used to do by hand.
What the Barrel Blaster Actually Does
The foam is formulated specifically for black powder firearms, so it targets the heavy, caked-on fouling that regular gun solvents can struggle with. Beyond powder residue, it also cuts through plastic and copper fouling, which makes it useful on more than just your smokepole. It's odorless and contains no ammonia or acids, and it won't harm a wooden gunstock finish if you get a little overspray where you didn't mean to.
Getting the Most From Your CVA Barrel Blaster
Using it is about as simple as gun cleaning gets. Spray the foam into the barrel, let it dwell for roughly 20 minutes up to an hour depending on how dirty things are, then run a patch or two through to swab the loosened fouling out. Longer sits handle stubborn buildup, so if you've been shooting all weekend, give it the full hour. Plenty of folks also use it beyond the bore, dispensing a little into a small container to soak a breech plug or other removable parts.
Pair it with a jag, patches, and a cleaning rod and you've got a quick, no-drama routine that gets your rifle back in the safe clean and ready for next time. For anyone running an inline or a traditional side-lock, it's a handy can to keep on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I let the CVA Barrel Blaster foam sit in the barrel?
Let the foam dwell anywhere from about 20 minutes up to a full hour before swabbing it out. Lighter fouling comes clean on the shorter end, while a barrel with heavy buildup benefits from the full hour. The longer it sits, the more work it does for you.
Is the Barrel Blaster only for muzzleloaders?
It's formulated with black powder firearms in mind, so muzzleloaders are its main job. That said, it also dissolves plastic and copper fouling, which makes it handy on modern firearms too. Some folks even dispense a little into a container to soak a breech plug or small removable parts.
Will the Barrel Blaster damage my rifle's wood stock?
No. The formula is designed so it won't harm a wooden gunstock finish, so a bit of overspray isn't a disaster. It's also odorless and free of ammonia and acids, which makes it easy to work with on the bench.
Do I still need patches and a rod with the CVA Barrel Blaster?
Yes. The foam loosens and dissolves the fouling, but you'll still run patches on a jag and rod to swab everything out of the bore. A rod, jag, and a stack of cleaning patches round out the setup nicely.
