Butch's Original Bore Shine is a precision gun cleaning solution formulated to tackle stubborn bore fouling with minimal elbow grease. Created by competitive benchrest shooter Butch Fisher, this non-abrasive chemical solvent cuts through carbon buildup, copper deposits, lead, wax, and plastic shotgun wad residue—even in hard-to-reach areas like the chamber throat. Whether you're maintaining a hunting rifle, competition gun, or shotgun, this 8 oz bottle delivers the kind of cleaning power that conventional solvents simply can't match.
What sets Bore Shine apart is its dual-purpose design. Use it reactively to dissolve existing fouling, or apply it preventively by running a few solvent-soaked patches down the bore before you shoot to help control copper buildup before it starts. The formula is safe on standard steel and stainless steel barrels alike, making it a genuine one-size-fits-all cleaner for your gun cabinet. Shooters who switch to Butch's typically don't look back.
The 8 oz size strikes a practical balance—enough solvent to handle regular cleaning sessions without taking up excessive storage space. Keep a bottle in your range bag, hunting pack, or cleaning kit.
