We have had many discussions on the merits of Wipeout, I too, am a big fan. Now on the market is Forrest Bore Foam, Outers, and Gunslick products.

This morning on one of the hunting shows on OLN, I saw an ad for "Knockout", another foaming bore cleaner.

Is this identical to all the others? Has anyone here on AR had experience with this product?

Maybe this type of product has become a commodity and only price and availability to the consumer will dictate which to buy and use.

Thanks,

It would also be interesting to know which are the same product travelling under different names and which are totally different, which I guess is saying exactly the same thing as you did. I just mean identical chemical composition, not similar results.

Knockout is Forrest bore foam....

Outers, Gunslick and Forrest are all made by Milfoam. Wipe-Out seems to be another product, although I see no difference in how they work.

Thanks for the replies.

Wipeout contains monoethanolamine, which can be dangerous. How they get by without warnings I do not know.

I use monoethanolamine straight, but I'm always very careful...gloves, etc.

Suggest you guys be careful.

monoethanolamine? I did a search on this chemical and discovered it is used in laundry detergent, men and womens hair coloring agent. I suppose it depends on what strength or normality of monoethanolamine that is contained in these products and the amount of time of skin contact?

Not sure who is cloning who, as years ago a pro-shooter friend used Evenrude upper engine cleaner (internal). Drained it thru every day while he slept. Then just patched out and shot all night. Says he got the idea from his hot- shot local barrel maker. (Madco).

I have only used Outers. I really like the tube on the can makes keeping action, mag. area clean ( no foam ) very easy and it removes all copper.

I've been a Wipeout fan since Shilen recommended it to me back in '99. I was out recently and tried some foam bore cleaner from Gunslick. It worked ok, but I don't like the consistency of the foam. It's like it expands before it actually can work it's way down the barrel. Go figure. Anyway, I'm sticking with Wipeout.
