Would like to get some of this stuff, but would like to get it locally if I can.

Where would I find it?

Thanks.

Sportsmans Warehouse has it, I believe.

Midway has it.

Marvel Mystery Oil is very similar in performance. Fact is I can't find a lot of difference between the two.

Marvel can be found at most farm implement stores and some auto supply stores.

Do any of you use Kroil to clean the barrel?

Industrial supply houses have Kroil. Like Fastenal.
I use kroil to clean my rim-fires and use it to neutralize Sweets.

I use one third Kroil mixed with two thirds Shooter's Choice as a nitro powder solvent.

Ditto onefunze2. I have been using the same mixture for years. I believe I originally found this foumula in Precision Shooting (McPherson???). I know it is popular with the bench-rest brethern.

Horn-Harvester,

I love the stuff. I squirt it on a rag and use it to wipe down my rifles after hunting.

After cleaning I run a patch soaked with kroil through my barrel.

I also use it in my barrel break in on 24 caliber and up rifles. I mix it with jb bore paste and give my hunting rifles 300 strokes with a bronze bore brush coated with this mixture rather than firing the usual breakin shots.
I keep a can in my truck and in my gun cleaning kit. Use it almost as much as duct tape.

Gun shows typically have it. Midway supply, Sinclair Itn'l, and Natchez Shooters Supply all sell it.

Kroil can be bought at Brownells along woth two other great products J&B bore cleaner and bore bright . If I have a big copper problem ( you can tell even after a thorough cleaning by shining a mini mag lite in the muzzel end under dim light)I will use shooters choice copper remover in the bore multiple times up to 15min at a time then clean with a clean patch. then use kroil in the barrel and let it be for a half hour or so. Then use J&B bore cleaner on a patch ( little goes a long way) Push this through bore multiple times until patch comes out dirty and black Repeat with bore bright and kroil and your gun will be cleaner than ever Now thats the way I do it everyone has there own way. Hope this helps you out Then I treat my barrels with a patch of either Smith & Wesson Friction block or Kleen Bore t25b Run through quickly and fast at least twenty times to seat.
