Kroil is a penetrating oil, not a powder solvent like Hoppe's #9, Shooter's Choice, etc. However, when mixed with a solvent, the solution seems to do a better job of cleaning. I've been mixing it by adding about 1 oz. of Kroil to each 16 oz of solvent for about the last decade or so and am very pleased with the results. Also, no need to oil a barrel after you're done cleaning.

I just checked
Midway - it's still sold there, and on sale at the moment. However, I noticed that they have added the words "Bore Cleaning Solvent" to their description. I'm not so sure that's true - the solvent part. I'd bet good money that the only thing that's been added to their product are the words themselves. (And the words aren't on the can in the picture.) It is a good quality, and conveniently packaged, penetrating oil with a few "proprietary" ingredients including trimethylbenzene in a very small quantity. Maybe that's the solvent they're talking about. It's not a very good powder solvent.
