RB17 is a metal/bore cleaner that I first bought in the Houston, Tx area in the early 1990s. Just looked at a bottle of it I found in a gun range shop last year. Company is G.B.C. Industries located in Spring, Tx., which is just north of Houston. No other address on bottle, but has a phone order line number of 713-350-9690. As far as I know they have a blueing remover product, a cold blue product, a finishing oil (for metal) and a wood treatment (for putting a top finish on wood stocks) product and of course, the RB17 cleaner. I've used the RB17 cleaner for a long time and highly recommend it. The finishing oil is pretty good. I've not tried the wood treatment. I have tried the cold blue and did have decent results with it on a rifle barrel.
If you have ever tried the Blue Wonder metal/bore cleaner, then you'd already used RB17. Original 2 guys at RB17 went their separate ways, one keeping RB17 and the other starting Blue Wonder Products, which is also in Houston. The Blue Wonder guy confirmed to me one day at a booth he had at a local gun show, something I had heard years ago. That there is no difference in formulas of his Blue Wonder cleaner and the original RB17 cleaner.
here is a place that sells some of the RB 17 products.
