I used wipeout recently on a bulgy AK74. Really did the trick since those 5.45 bores are not easy to get at.

I liked outers nitro solvent in a spray can used to squirt it down the barrel have a cup of tea then brush and swab out seemed to work on all the crud in a barrel and leave it very clean.
I use it, or something similar, that I bought at Walmart some years ago. It's in the shed and I ain't going to look now. I put the rifle in a Midway Gun vise, stick the hose up the chamber and spray until it comes out the muzzle. I put an old meatloaf pan under the muzzle to catch the drips. After about 30 minutes I start to clean, and it works like a dream. I'll finish up with a few patches soaked with Kroil and the bore gets squeaky clean. It doesn't matter if I've fired cast, jacketed, or a combination of both. I'm convinced.....
