[QUOTE="BigSkyGP, post: 448023, member: 28118"] I know how you feel. I'm torn between squeeky clean, and clean enough, myself. Maybe we will get one of the metalurgist guys and/or machinist on here to clear up the cleaning debate. I picked up an M1 Garand recently, and the barrel is junk, due to inaddequate improper cleaning. Now a barrel is gonna cost me. I think a lot of it came from dirty surplus ammo. I know primers and powders are nearly inert to metals as far as reacting. They do build up. Most problems come from the copper buildup in the bore, it's also one of the hardest to get out. Have to be care full with the amonia based solvents, to not get them on your brass. It will make brass brittle. I think that is most of the reason they work on copper fouling. [/QUOTE]
