This kit is a testament to Breakthrough Clean's commitment to cutting-edge chemistry and superior engineering, ensuring your firearms remain in pristine, ready-for-action condition.

The Core Components of Superior Firearm Care

At the heart of the Breakthrough Clean BT101 Basic Cleaning Kit are three top-rated cleaners and lubricants, each formulated with advanced chemistry to deliver unmatched performance. These aren't just generic solutions; they are specialized products designed to work synergistically, offering a complete and effective cleaning and lubrication regimen.

1. Breakthrough Military Grade Solvent:

   • Problem Solved: Effective removal of carbon, copper, and lead fouling. These residues are common after shooting and can significantly degrade accuracy and reliability if left unchecked. Traditional solvents often struggle with multi-type fouling or contain harsh chemicals.
   • Key Features & Benefits:
     • Unrivaled Cleaning Power: This solvent boasts a non-flammable, non-toxic, and odorless formula, making it safe for indoor use without strong fumes. Its "Military Grade" designation signifies that it meets stringent performance standards, capable of dissolving even the most stubborn carbon, copper, and lead fouling on contact. This saves you significant scrubbing time and effort.
     • Polymer Safe: A crucial feature for modern firearms, this solvent is safe for use on all firearm finishes, including delicate polymers, clear coats, and wood. You don't have to worry about damaging your firearm's aesthetic or structural integrity.
     • Rapid Action: Designed for quick and efficient work, it penetrates and lifts fouling rapidly, reducing the time spent on cleaning and getting you back to the range faster.
     • Residue-Free: It evaporates completely, leaving no residue behind that could attract dirt or interfere with lubrication, ensuring a truly clean surface for the next step.
   • Real-World Application: Imagine you've just spent a day at the range, and your pistol's bore is caked with carbon and copper. With the Military Grade Solvent, you can apply it, let it work for a few minutes, and then easily brush and patch out the dissolved fouling, restoring the bore to its factory shine.

2. Battle Born High Purity Oil:

   • Problem Solved: Friction, wear, and corrosion. Moving parts in a firearm require constant lubrication to operate smoothly, prevent metal-on-metal wear, and protect against rust, especially in challenging environments.
   • Key Features & Benefits:
     • Exceptional Lubrication: Engineered for superior lubrication, reducing friction and wear on all moving parts. This ensures smoother action, reliable cycling, and extends the lifespan of your firearm's critical components.
     • High Purity Formula: This 100% synthetic oil maintains its viscosity and protective properties across a wide temperature range (-90°F to 500°F), making it ideal for diverse climates and shooting conditions. It won't gum up in the cold or break down under intense heat.
     • Corrosion Protection: Forms a durable, invisible barrier that actively repels moisture, preventing rust and corrosion even in humid or salty environments. This protective layer is vital for maintaining the firearm's finish and internal mechanisms.
     • Non-Toxic & Odorless: Like the solvent, this oil is user-friendly, allowing for comfortable application without harmful fumes.
   • Real-World Application: After cleaning your AR-15, applying Battle Born High Purity Oil to the bolt carrier group and trigger assembly ensures smooth operation, prevents seizing, and protects against rust during storage, even if stored in a gun safe for extended periods.

3. Battle Born Grease Fortified with PTFE:

   • Problem Solved: High-stress friction points and long-term lubrication. Certain components within a firearm, like rails and locking lugs, experience extreme pressure and heat, requiring a more robust and long-lasting lubricant than oil.
   • Key Features & Benefits:
     • PTFE Fortification: The inclusion of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), commonly known as Teflon, gives this grease exceptional friction-reducing and non-stick properties. PTFE fills microscopic imperfections in metal surfaces, creating a super-slick layer that drastically reduces wear and enhances operational smoothness.
     • Extreme Temperature Stability: Designed to perform flawlessly from -65°F to 510°F, ensuring consistent lubrication whether you're shooting in sub-zero temperatures or rapid-firing on a hot day.
     • Long-Lasting Protection: Its durable film provides superior, long-lasting protection against wear, corrosion, and moisture, making it ideal for high-contact areas that need continuous lubrication between cleaning cycles.
     • Non-Toxic & Odorless: Offers the same user-friendly experience as the other Breakthrough Clean products.
   • Real-World Application: When maintaining your rifle, a thin layer of Battle Born Grease applied to the slide rails or barrel lugs will significantly reduce friction, prevent galling, and ensure consistently smooth action, round after round.

Essential Tools for a Thorough Clean

Beyond the advanced chemical solutions, the Breakthrough Clean BT101 kit includes two fundamental tools critical for physical cleaning and detailing:

• Double-Ended Nylon Brush: This versatile brush is a workhorse for dislodging loosened fouling. Its dual ends feature different brush sizes, allowing you to access both larger surfaces and intricate, hard-to-reach areas like the bolt face, locking lugs, and trigger components. The nylon bristles are stiff enough to scrub effectively but soft enough to be safe for all firearm finishes, preventing scratches or damage.
• Micro-Fiber Towel: An absorbent and lint-free towel is essential for wiping away solvent, oil, and grease, as well as for polishing surfaces. The microfiber material is highly effective at trapping grime and oil, leaving surfaces clean and streak-free without introducing new particles.

Why Choose the Breakthrough Clean BT101 Basic Cleaning Kit?

This kit is not just another cleaning product; it's an investment in the longevity and performance of your firearms. Here's why it stands out as a superior choice:

• Universal Compatibility: The "Multi-Caliber Universal" designation means this kit is suitable for cleaning virtually any type of firearm – from small-caliber pistols to large-bore rifles and shotguns. You don't need a separate kit for each gun, simplifying your cleaning regimen and reducing clutter.
• Superior Chemistry: Breakthrough Clean products are renowned for their advanced, non-toxic, and odorless formulations. This focus on safer chemistry means you can clean your firearms indoors without worrying about harsh fumes or skin irritation, making the cleaning process more pleasant and accessible.

Answering Your Common Firearm Maintenance Questions:

• "How often should I clean my gun?"

  While there's no single answer, it's generally recommended to clean your firearm after every range session, especially if you've fired a significant number of rounds or used corrosive ammunition. Even if you haven't shot, a light cleaning and re-lubrication every few months, or before long-term storage, is a good practice to prevent dust accumulation and maintain protective coatings.

• "Is this kit safe for my Glock/AR-15/Shotgun?"

  Absolutely. The Breakthrough Military Grade Solvent is polymer-safe, making it ideal for firearms with polymer frames or components. The universal nature of the kit’s brushes and the broad applicability of the lubricants mean it’s suitable for all common firearm types and materials, including steel, aluminum, and various finishes.

• "What makes 'military grade' solvent different?"

  "Military Grade" indicates that the solvent meets or exceeds rigorous standards set for cleaning performance in tactical and combat environments. This means it's formulated to quickly and effectively cut through heavy carbon, copper, and lead fouling that can accumulate rapidly under high-volume firing conditions, ensuring reliability when it matters most.

• "Can these products be used in cold weather?"

  Yes, both the Battle Born High Purity Oil and Battle Born Grease are engineered to perform across extreme temperature ranges, from sub-zero to high heat, ensuring consistent lubrication and protection regardless of the climate you're shooting in.

• "Why is grease sometimes better than oil?"

  While oil is excellent for general lubrication and thin film protection, grease provides a thicker, more durable protective layer for high-friction, high-pressure, or slow-moving components where sustained lubrication is crucial. Its ability to "stay put" on surfaces like slide rails or locking lugs makes it ideal for these specific applications, providing longer-lasting protection and smoother operation.
