[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1118821, member: 10755"] I use Hoppe's carbon cleaner, I do know it contains a very mild copper solvent, but I don't let it soak as per the instructions on the bottle. When cleaning copper, I use Sweets 7.62 copper cleaner. This is important, after using Hoppe's, I ALWAYS follow with petroleum spirit (Shellite) on a patch and scrub the throat, then the bore. When using Sweets, I follow with methylated spirits on a patch and scrub the throat, then the bore. I also blow out the bore with compressed air, then a very light coat of oil, one pass and out the muzzle. If I detect a carbon ring in the throat, I use scotch brite pads on a jag and Hoppe's and a battery drill. Unfortunately, living in Australia, we don't get all the goodies available to you guys in the US. Would love some JB paste to try on my throats! Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
