Helmar Gun Cleaning Range

I DON’T remember how I happened onto the Helmar gun cleaning products site, but when I did and read the testimonials and the claimed effectiveness of the products, I wondered why they had not taken the Australian gun community by storm. The answer could be that Helmar, headed up by owner Mark Ripper, caters for all sorts of chemical agents for use in areas from arts and crafts to automotive applications and they have not aggressively marketed the gun-specific range as yet.

The range that Mark sent to me to test and evaluate was:

• Helmar H7500 Firearm Carbon• Helmar H8000 Firearm Copper Remover• Helmar H9000 Firearm Lubricant• Helmar H9500 Firearm Bore Oil• Helmar H7000 GP Bore Cleaner (for Rimfire use).• Helmar H1000 contact Cleaner
