Hoppe`s mainly, also the CVA solvent that came with muzzleloader starter kit.

didn't say it was daveo, just wondering if there is something better that i would be better off using.
now that you mention it destroyer, i do have a different bottle of solvent for the smoke pole. don't remember what it is off hand.
the makers of the new smokeless powder pellets say water is all you need. i aint buyin' it.

I use Gun Scrub,Hoppe's,Rem-Oil, Casey's, And Beachwood.

Also would like to recamend any one with the new Polymer stocks and hand gun frames make sure they use a Polymer safe solvent.

I can't remember who makes them now, but there is one that comes in a 2 gallon pail that you can just dunk the whole frame into.

A buddy of mine made a mess of a Glock with regular gun solvent.

Glock replaced the frame for him with a stern warning not to use plain gun solvents.

I just picked up some of the Gun Slick line of products and it seems to do the job. I'm not sure I'm sold on the foam cleaner though.
