[QUOTE="Smokngun, post: 218646, member: 12183"] Be carefull with anything not designed for firearms. These products are made to be used on and around firearm stocks, finishes, bedding, etc. Top engine cleaner has been known to disolve or turn to a pourous foam, your glass bedding and I cant imagine it's any good if it comes in contact with a fiberglass stock. I use Hoppe's No. 9 for powder/carbon removal and for copper, Hoppe's Bench Rest on my 'good' barrels and Barnes 10X on the more stubborn ones. A hand finish lapped barrel doesn't usually need a very agressive copper solvent, but it certainly make short work of cleaning! Remember to always dry the bore between cleaners (that are not KNOWN compatible) as some could have poor reactions with others. [/QUOTE]
