This advanced formula is engineered to tackle even the most entrenched carbon deposits, ensuring your firearm operates at its peak, shot after shot.

The Menace of Carbon Buildup: Why It Matters

Every time a round is fired, unburned powder, primers, and bullet jacket material leave behind a microscopic layer of residue. Over time, these layers accumulate, baking onto the surfaces of your firearm, particularly in the bore, chamber, bolt carrier group (BCG) of AR-style rifles, and inside suppressors. This hardened carbon can lead to a host of problems:

• Decreased Accuracy: Carbon rings in the bore can impede bullet flight, leading to inconsistent shot placement and reduced precision.
• Reduced Reliability: Excess carbon can cause moving parts to drag, leading to failures to feed, eject, or cycle properly. This is especially critical in semi-automatic firearms.
• Accelerated Wear and Tear: Hard carbon acts as an abrasive, contributing to wear on rifling, bolt lugs, and other critical components, shortening the lifespan of your firearm.
• Increased Malfunctions: From light primer strikes to catastrophic failures, carbon buildup is a leading cause of operational issues.
• Difficulty in Cleaning: The longer carbon is left to accumulate, the harder it becomes to remove, turning routine maintenance into a laborious chore.
• Heat Retention: Carbon can trap heat, potentially contributing to faster wear in high-stress areas.

For professionals who rely on their firearms for safety and duty, or competitive shooters where every fraction of a second and every point counts, these issues are simply unacceptable. Even for the casual enthusiast, a reliable and accurate firearm enhances the enjoyment of shooting sports.

Introducing SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer: Your Ultimate Carbon Solution

The SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer (Product ID 60108) is not just another gun cleaner; it's a specialized carbon solvent formulated to safely and efficiently dissolve stubborn carbon, lead, and plastic fouling. This 15 oz jar contains a powerful, non-toxic solution designed to penetrate and break down the chemical bonds of carbon buildup, allowing for effortless removal without harsh scrubbing or corrosive chemicals.

Key Advantages and What Makes It Stand Out:

• Unparalleled Carbon Dissolving Power: Its advanced formula specifically targets and breaks down carbon fouling at a molecular level, unlike general solvents that merely loosen it.

• Easy to Use, Less Scrubbing: The "killer" in its name refers to its effectiveness, not its abrasiveness. It significantly reduces the amount of elbow grease required, transforming tedious cleaning into a more manageable task. Simply apply, let it work, and wipe away.
• Versatile Application: While its primary focus is carbon, it’s also highly effective at removing lead and plastic fouling from shotgun barrels and other areas.
• Odorless and Non-Flammable: Enjoy a more pleasant cleaning experience without strong chemical odors or the risk associated with flammable solvents.
• Extended Product Life: The 15 oz jar provides a substantial supply, making it a cost-effective choice for regular firearm maintenance.

Who Will Benefit Most from SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer?

This product is an essential addition to the cleaning kit of a diverse range of firearm owners:

• Competitive Shooters: Precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Consistent carbon removal ensures match-winning performance.
• AR-15 Owners: The direct impingement system of many ARs is notorious for carbon buildup in the bolt carrier group and chamber. SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer makes cleaning these critical areas vastly easier.
• Handgun Enthusiasts: From range plinkers to concealed carry holders, keeping pistols clean prevents stoppages and ensures readiness.
• Hunters: Reliability in the field is paramount. A well-maintained rifle or shotgun ensures your shot counts when it matters most.
• Law Enforcement and Military Personnel: For those whose lives depend on their firearm, uncompromising performance and quick, effective maintenance are critical.

• Anyone Seeking Easier Firearm Maintenance: If you dread cleaning your guns because of the effort involved, this product will revolutionize your routine.

Real-World Applications: How to Effectively Use SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer

Using SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer is straightforward, but following these steps will maximize its effectiveness and ensure thorough cleaning.

General Application Guidelines:

1. Safety First: Always ensure your firearm is unloaded before beginning any cleaning procedure. Remove the magazine and visually inspect the chamber and bore.
2. Disassembly: Disassemble your firearm as per the manufacturer's instructions. This allows access to critical areas prone to carbon buildup.
3. Application: Apply a generous amount of SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer directly to the areas affected by carbon. This includes the bore, chamber, bolt face, bolt carrier group, gas piston systems, and suppressor baffles. For stubborn areas, use a brush (nylon or bronze, depending on the surface) to work the cleaner into the fouling.
4. Soaking Time: Allow the product to soak. For light fouling, 5-10 minutes may suffice. For heavy, baked-on carbon (common in suppressors or high-volume shooting firearms), allow it to soak for 30 minutes to an hour, or even several hours for extreme cases. The non-corrosive nature of SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer means it won't harm your metal even with extended dwell times.
5. Brushing & Wiping: After soaking, use an appropriate cleaning brush (e.g., bore brush, chamber brush, general utility brush) to agitate the loosened carbon. You'll notice the carbon coming off easily. Wipe away the dissolved residue with clean patches or cloths. Repeat if necessary until patches come out clean.
6. Rinsing (Optional but Recommended): While not strictly necessary due to its non-corrosive nature, a final wipe-down with a dry cloth or a light application of a general cleaner can help remove any remaining residue.
7. Lubrication: After cleaning, it is crucial to properly lubricate your firearm with a quality lubricant like SLIP 2000 Gun Lube to ensure smooth operation and provide ongoing protection.

Specific Use Cases:

• Cleaning an AR-15 Bolt Carrier Group (BCG):
  • Disassemble the BCG (remove firing pin, cam pin, bolt).
  • Liberally apply SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer to the bolt face, bolt tail, inside of the bolt carrier, and the gas rings.
  • Let soak for 15-30 minutes.
  • Use a carbon scraper tool for the bolt tail if needed, then a nylon brush for other areas. The carbon will typically flake off or wipe away.
  • Wipe clean and lubricate.
• Deep Cleaning a Suppressor:
  • If your suppressor is user-serviceable, disassemble it. For sealed units, follow manufacturer guidelines.
  • Submerge baffles (if removable) or liberally apply the cleaner inside the suppressor. Many users find success soaking removable baffles in a small container of SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer overnight.
  • The carbon will soften and can often be scraped or brushed off with ease. Ultrasonic cleaners filled with SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer can also be highly effective for this task.
  • Thoroughly clean and dry before reassembly.
• Restoring a Heavily Fouled Bore:
  • Patch the bore with a cleaning patch soaked in SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer.
  • Let it soak for 10-15 minutes.
  • Run a bronze bore brush through the bore 5-10 times.
  • Follow with clean patches until no more carbon is visible. Repeat the process if necessary for extremely fouled barrels.
• Removing Plastic Fouling from Shotgun Barrels:
  • Apply SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer to the inside of the barrel.
  • Allow to soak for 15-20 minutes.
  • Use a stiff nylon or brass bore brush to scrub the plastic residue. The cleaner will soften the plastic, making it much easier to remove than with traditional solvents.

The Science Behind Its Effectiveness: How It Works

SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer isn't just a simple solvent; it's a meticulously engineered formula. Instead of relying on harsh chemicals that strip or abrade, it uses advanced chemistry to penetrate and break the molecular bonds that hold carbon, lead, and plastic fouling to metal surfaces.

Think of it this way: carbon buildup is like a stubborn, dried-on glue. Many cleaners try to scrape or forcefully dissolve this glue. SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer, however, contains specialized compounds that chemically weaken the glue itself, causing it to lose its adhesive properties and break apart into smaller, easily removable particles. This targeted action is why it's so effective without being abrasive or corrosive to your firearm's delicate finishes and materials. It "kills" the carbon's ability to adhere, allowing it to be simply wiped away.

Why Choose SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer Over Conventional Cleaners?

When faced with a myriad of cleaning products, why should SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer be your top choice?

• Superior Safety Profile: Unlike many traditional solvents that emit strong, harmful fumes, are flammable, or require specialized handling, SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer offers a level of safety unmatched by most competitors. Its non-toxic, non-flammable, and biodegradable properties mean less concern for your health, your family, and your indoor air quality.
• Preserves Your Investment: Many aggressive cleaners can inadvertently damage bluing, polymer, or other finishes over time. SLIP 2000 Carbon Killer is formulated to be completely inert to these materials, ensuring your firearm's aesthetic and structural integrity are maintained.
• Time and Effort Savings: The primary benefit for busy shooters. By dissolving carbon so effectively, it drastically reduces the physical effort and time spent scrubbing. What used to be a long, arduous cleaning session can become a quicker, more enjoyable maintenance routine.
• Eco-Conscious Choice: For those mindful of their environmental footprint, its biodegradable nature offers peace of mind.
