Hoppes #9 Blackpowder Bore - Cleaner Lubricant 8oz Bottle

Hoppes #9 Blackpowder Bore Cleaner Lubricant is a specialized solvent formulated for shooters and collectors who maintain blackpowder firearms, muzzleloaders, and historical weapons systems. This 8oz bottle delivers dual-action cleaning and lubrication in a single product, addressing the unique fouling challenges posed by blackpowder residue—a corrosive compound that demands aggressive yet safe removal. Whether you shoot traditional cap-and-ball revolvers, flintlock rifles, or inline muzzleloaders, this cleaner has been the industry standard for generations of law enforcement armorers, military historians, and competitive blackpowder shooters.

The formula penetrates fouled bores effectively, dissolving burnt powder residue and carbon buildup while simultaneously depositing a protective lubricating film on bore walls and action surfaces. Unlike general-purpose gun oils, Hoppes #9 Blackpowder formulation is engineered to cut through the heavier, more stubborn deposits left by blackpowder combustion—deposits that ordinary solvents cannot efficiently break down. The squeeze bottle design allows precise application to bore patches and internal mechanisms without waste, and the solvent dries to leave a rust-inhibiting coating rather than a wet, sticky residue that attracts dust and powder fouling.

This cleaner lubricant performs equally well on deep-grooved barrels and shallow-grooved designs, making it universally applicable across blackpowder rifle and revolver platforms. Armorers and gunsmiths rely on it for post-range cleaning protocols and long-term storage preparation, as the protective film guards against rust and corrosion during off-season storage or in high-humidity environments. The 8oz bottle size provides sufficient volume for regular maintenance cycles on multiple firearms, offering excellent value for active shooters who maintain their own equipment.
