[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2621337, member: 118876"] My conclusion on CLR and cleaning. I will start with Free All to get most of the carbon out while the barrel is hot. Then use Hoppes foam for the copper and let it sit for a while since I'm not shooting competition. Once the copper is out I'll use Kroil or Free All to get a little more carbon out and then a wet patch of alcohol. 2 dry patches, then 2 wet patches of CLR on a slot, and let it sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes 2 wet patches of 91% alcohol then 2-3 dry patches. Clean the chamber and then 1 oil patch for the barrel followed by one dry patch and I'm finished. After starting this thread and reading all the comments it seems to me that CLR is an excellent cleaner to get carbon out of a SS barrel, but I will never use it on a CM barrel again. I will attach a pic of my last cleaning and let you decide. Before anyone jumps on that I have a huge carbon ring in the back of the pic that is just a shadow, nothing more, the entire barrel looks like what is lit up well. [/QUOTE]
