...sorry, couldn't resist....

[Tallbear]

Great stuff...........MGO sent a couple cases of it to the troops in the middle east a couple years ago. Michigan product............

[Red Sector A]

For those of us who dont know.... what is Gunzilla?

[Tedfs]

http://www.topduckproducts.com/

Gunzilla is made here in Michigan.

It's environmental friendly , cleans better than most other cleaners out there and is priced right.

I found out about it a few years ago at the Mason gun show, talked with the owner and decided to try it. I've used it exclusively ever since. It cuts the carbon and copper fowling very well, doesn't smell bad and just plain works.

[langenc]

I cleaned a rifle with it last week. The rifle has not been shot in at leats 4 years-have been shooting others. When I put the rifle up for storage I know I cleaned it--mix of Kroil and Shooters Choice.

I got loootts of black stuff out of that barrel with the Gunzilla. All I can assume it does better than my previous solvent.

[RSF]

I have heard this stuff was nothing more than a form of simple green cleaner?
is this true or based i was just wondering
as i was looking to get this stuff into the gun shop

[customizedcreationz]

I have a small bottle of it I bought years ago. Seemed to work good.

[Tallbear]

Get a bottle and try it. If it's not everything they say it is, don't sell it. If I had a shop, I would be selling it. It needs more advertising to be a "big" seller.

[Tedfs]

No, it's not a form of simple green.

If that were true, it would strip all the oils from the metal and leave the parts dry and unprotected.

Do as Tallbear suggested and buy a small bottle of it. Try it out and see what you think. I'd have no problems selling it in a shop I owned.

[TFin04]

Id like to compare it to the QCG stuff we have now. It has been working great so far.

[RSF]

then ill do that....... ill use it on our range guns and see how it runs

done so we shall see when it gets here.

[firefox]

who carries this stuff in the metro Detroit area? green cleaner and made in michigan this stuff sounds like a dream come true.

[Tallbear]

Pretty sure I saw it at Firing LIne. Give them a call.

Thanks everyone,

I will give it a try. We had a guy ..[can't remember his name] give a presentation at LCSC about a year ago.

The people that bought it liked it. I just wanted a broader opinion.

This my first post ... see if I got it in the right place. ! !

Well I see I got post in right place, but not to clear maybe...?

Here is Don's contact info at Gunzilla.

[Done Deal]

Welcome Don

[durus5995]

If you are looking for this stuff around the Tri cities Sheridan Arms sells this. And if you are looking for it around the state it usually can be found at the traveling gun shows. Like the one that visits Birchrun every few months. This is awsome stuff. I use it on all my milsurps.

[RSF]

Well my samples came, so far very impressive, wipes off all the crud pretty well. and very easy and no residue left on my hands going to give it another week of cleaning and use in our rental guns and we shall see

[Tedfs]

You won't be disappointed.

It's one of Michigan's gun show secrets that needs to get more press.

[5.56]

I am not Don , please read post 17 this thread.

I was given the Contact Name and Email for Don @ Gunzilla.

Didn't know how first post (16) would read , tried to make correction in post (17), hope its clear now. :salute:

[TFin04]

I'm sold.

I just used it to remove lead/carbon fouling on my tac light that nothing else could take off. I've used Hoppe's 9, CLP, Break Free bore foam, mineral spirits, simple green, and Qwikk Gun Clean (which is really good stuff). I've let it soak overnight, used brushes, etc. Nothing would touch it.

I just sprayed some Gunzilla on it, let it sit for about 15 min, scrubbed with a heavy nylon bristle brush and it came right off.

I don't normally get wrapped around fancy cleaners or lubes, my two most used chemicals on firearms is Walmart brand brake cleaner and Walmart brand high temp bearing grease. CLP is the only solvent I typically use and that's only every 5k rounds or so down the bore. For stubborn deposits....Gunzilla is the heat.

[sse]

Does anyone know if this is safe on wood gun stocks? If not, I'll go to their web site and contact them.

[TFin04]

I just cleaned the cylinder face of a rental 642. Same process with each, spray solvent, let sit for a few min, scrub with heavy nylon brush:

CLP- Next to no effect
Qwikk Guns Clean- Took quite a bit off, still dirty.
Gunzilla- Took about 99% of fouling off. Much better performer than the other two.

I don't think there is any product that will completely clean the beadblast finish of these guns (at least I've never seen one), but Gunzilla certainly does the best job I've seen.

Try it on an AK gas piston face. If it cleans it down to the chrome I'ma get me some.

[TFin04]

I don't clean my AK's.......

But for you, I'll spray some on one tonight and let it sit overnight. Will post back later.

[TeamAFX]

I would also like to know on the AK gas piston. Can you post some pics?

Thanks

[Red Sector A]

Does anyone know if this is safe on wood gun stocks? If not, I'll go to their web site and contact them.

From their website:

"Gunzilla is also safe to clean wood and plastic stocks but is should be wiped dry after cleaning. "

[Red Sector A]

Pretty sure I saw it at Firing LIne. Give them a call.

If Firing Line has it then I might pick up a small bottle when I pick up my AR mags on Saturday. Product sounds great!

[RSF]

the more i use the more i like it.

[TFin04]

I've got four AK pistons soaking right now. Before/during/after pics on the way. Gimme an hour or two.

[TFin04]

"Before" picture taken without any cleaning done. These were taken straight from the rifle and placed on the sponge for the picture.

From left to right:
Chinese Mak90 (7.62x39)
Romanian WASR10 (7.62x39)
Romanian WASR2 (5.45x39)
Bulgarian 74 (5.45x39)

The far right piston (Bulgarian) has the most use by far. The piston as shown is roughly 12k rounds without cleaning. It gets sprayed down with CLP to control the corrosive deposits from the ammo, but no attempt at cleaning has ever been made. You can see a "shelf" of carbon has formed in the grooves.

Gunzilla was applied then left to sit for a half hour. At that time I brushed the parts with a Gunzilla soaked nylon brush, wiped clean, and reapplied another bath of the solvent.

After another half hour I scrubbed the parts with the scotchbrite pad shown, wiped off all residue, and took a picture. As you can see most of the fouling was removed, but I don't think there is any product out there that will completely remove all carbon, especially from the face of the piston. It doesn't show in the picture, but the carbon on the face was greatly reduced. I think it would take a media blast and/or an auto parts washer to really get these clean.

This is the first (and will be the last) time these pistons are ever cleaned while they are in my possession.

Conclusion: This stuff is easy to use, doesn't smell bad, doesn't leave hands oily, and just flat out works.

I'm sold! I have to try some now.

[postban]

Thanks for doing the test and pics Tom, count me as another gunzilla customer.

Looking at your 5.45 piston has my gun cleaning OCD raging. :shocked:

[Tedfs]

I've posted about how good this stuff was here before.

Save yourself the trouble and buy a big bottle now, you'll be glad you did.

Every single firearm I get my grubby hands on gets wiped down with Gunzilla, even if they are brand new.

I got a small spray bottle for free at a class I took about two years ago. I waited about a year to use it.....Its all I use now!!
I bought a 24oz bottle at the Mason Gun Show in November and got another small spray bottle for free.

[pilot22]

I purchased after demo at the gun show and was impressed. I was more impressed after using it at home on my own guns. A little bit goes a long way, great job. Great Stuff. Go Gunzilla.:bow:

[karcent]

Just a quick word of caution:

Do not use Gunzilla on firearms manufactured prior to WWII.
Many of those guns have true rust bluing and Gunzilla will remove it according to their info sheet.
It won't effect modern guns.

I've been using it my personal guns and it really looks like a great product.

Hmm, good to know, thanks for the heads up!

[yocan]

I"m a USMC reservist out of lansing, Decembers drill the inventor showed up and handed it out, its all our unit buys now. The 11s still are using their CLP, but all the crew serves have switched over, andn many of the 11s have bought it for personal use, the armorer to the First Sargeant said "I tell you what, I sure wish we had 12 gallons of this in the armory instead of CLP" We love it. Saves us a lot of time, and were not as worried about cleaning our hands before we eat in the field.

[Arbor_Shooter]

I've tried it, I think it works well, I just can't find it on the shelves at any local stores.

[fbuckner]

This is the first (and will be the last) time these pistons are ever cleaned while they are in my possession.

OMG you have taken in everything Fisher has taught you very well including his lack of firearms care. The last time I ever seen him clean a gun was on accident. He dropped it in a mudpuddle and wiped it off on his sweatshirt.

[karcent]

From what I've seen most gun owners haven't got a clue how to "properly" care for their firearms and do more damage to them by constantly cleaning using improper methods.
This also goes for the military. The wrong tools have wrecked more bores than anything else.

btw: I've been using Gunzilla for a while now and it does everything the manufacturer claims.
It is excellent for removing surface rust, it's a great cleaner and lube.
Just don't use it on a pre-WWII firearm or a side by that was slow rust blued.

Same question, I might head up for the show and wouldn't mind picking up a bottle or 2................;-)

[karcent]

I stock it but I will not be at Gibraltar Taylor this weekend.
I will be at Gibraltar Mt Clemens on May 22-23-24

[jeff77]

Forgive my ignorance as I'm fairly new here, if i were to make the drive from Brownstown to Mount Clemens which booth would i find you at?
Thanks,

Do they hand out compasses or GP'S at the front door so we can find you?
What are your map coordinates?
Hello Karcent.

[discerningshootist]

I Stock it in my store: "The Discerning Shootist", and it works great.
The first time I used it, it was to clean my Delta Elite. There was copper fouling on the ramp that been there since I bought the gun, Gunzilla took it right off with a swipe of a rag.
Can't say enough good about.
The only thing that could make it better is the fact it's made in Michigan.

[RifleGuy]

I Stock it in my store: "The Discerning Shootist",
And your store would be located in.....?

I was curious to so i had to look it up....

[usabug]

Fantastic product. I talked to the owner Bob and this product has me sold. It takes of gunk that most other cleaners will not. In addition to being a cleaner, it also is a lubricant.

I dont use anything else to clean or lube my guns. It is non toxic and has little to no odor.

Get yourself some, you wont be disappointed.

[discerningshootist]

And your store would be located in.....?

Sorry... scenic Traverse City,MI.

[Lester]

I want to support my brothers in Michigan I've never heard of this until now. I will buy and try just tell me where it can be purchased. I'm in Holland
Thanks Les

[TFin04]

I would first recommend buying from Karcent but Holland is across the state.

Go to the gunzilla website and find a dealer there or ask to purchase directly from them. www.topduckproducts.com

They make good stuff, you will be pleased.

[glock_cop_22]

I love the stuff nac get a small bottle for $7, and a large for $11. I am in the grand rapids area if you ever get over here let me know I will pic u up some. I didn't like it a first, but It works great on my AR and I have used it on my glock 3-4 times wasn't that imprest at first but after our last PD qualif I went to clean in and the bore was clean. ran 2 rags through it just to remove the lead but all was clean no powder residue left behind after 55 rounds..its a must have

[Trauma]

bought some at a show up here in birch run, $6 for a small bottle of it. works good, good lubricant and great cleaner. doesnt bother your hands either. i think it is about a 4 oz. bottle. i would buy more but at that price i cant afford too.


-Trauma :flag:

[dfrak]

i would buy more but at that price i cant afford too.

I really like the stuff, but the price is my concern with it as well. I picked up a larger size at Camp Perry last year when all the vendors are there (July?) and the price was much better. I've wanted to pick up more, but I am holding off.

Dan

[OIFvet2ID]

I just picked some up down here at the Indy 1500 when I found out it is a Michigan product. Havent tried it yet but based on the testimonials I have read in this thread I am glad I picked up a bottle of it. I got an 8oz pump bottle for $15 after talking with the vendor, he offered a military discount. If you are in the Indy area tomorrow, stop by the 1500 and get some! The vendor is in the back right corner as you enter the building.

[Targ8]

Gunzilla is an awesome product, invented by a Michigan resident!

That material is environment friendly and cleans like you wouldn't believe!

It smells good as well!

Strongly recommended...

[Ruger]

Excellent product! love the way it cleans a lubes in one wipe.

[Roundballer]

Only 8 months old, not too bad.

Gunzilla is good chit thou.

[RSF]

cleans well i had issues running it on ars when they really heated up needed more and better lube back to slip ewl for that other wise good stuff

[DLL9MM]

I have been using it for the last few months. Works great. Its suppose to take care of corrosive ammo also...At least thats what the bottle says.

Slip 2000 Extreme Weapons Lube

[oldskoolford427]

I have used it for a few years now it works great!!

[SteveRonan118]

The owner/creator is a real top notch guy. I ran into him at his booth at the Grand Rapids gun show and he gave my dad and I both free sample bottles because we were military.
It is clear, not colored like CLP. And the best part is there is NO odor. When my dropper bottle runs out, I will be buying a large one to refill it.
It attracts less dirt than other CLP and oils - which is probably my favorite characteristic.

Hope that helps, and I would recommend trying it.

[5.56]

Slip 2000 Extreme Weapons Lube
Thanks Kurt

[RSF]

What was the issue, as I use it on 2 AR's....
"slip ewl" means What? Thanks.

the issue is when running the gun in high voulume classes matches and training reps they lube has cooked off enough that i need more

I have never had that issue with slip.

when shooting 600+ rounds a day at volumes we often do it hasnt worked that well for me.

as a cleaner and general purpose lube etc.. used on my handguns bolt guns yes ok good

ON corrosive ammo yeap good.


when i want great im back to slip 2000 and there 725 cleaner
I do like the gunzilla though my thoughts and needs slip works better
