[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1159140, member: 39764"] You got me by a few years, I'm 66. I left some of my parts in the hospital about 15 years ago.... Do I miss them? Hell no but the big incision still gives me hell and really limited my hunt excursions..... That BTE is wicked stuff, I have to agree. I set mine in a Tipton gun vise clamped to a big welding table (we have a few of those around here, the shop does code stainless and aluminum welding). I keep the muzzle lower than the receiver and a small bucket under the end (I'm too cheap for a solvent trap). I take suitable sized mop and load it with BTE and run it through and let it sit foe a while and the follow up with a Dewey Rod with soaked patches. By that time the evil looking stuff is coming out the muzzle (I use one of those in the receiver tubes so the stuff don't run down into the trigger group). Then I let it sit soaking for a while depending on how much fouling there is inside (I like looking inside bores at the gunk with a borescope..) Maybe I go feed the horses and come back but when I get back, I run a couple more patches on the Dewey (I use a nylon patch pusher) and then I follow up with a nylon bore brush (loaded to). BTE sells the brushes but Tipton is cheaper on Amazon... Then I start dry patching until it's patching clean followed by the bore camera to insure I got it all.... It's nasty stuff but it's a dam sight better that that Sweets 7.62 copper solvent. That stuff stinks terrible. If you want some, I have a bottle I'll send you...lol I like BTE. it works, no doubt. Good things take time.... Now if I can just figure out how to keep my Henry Big Boy from tarnishing in it's display case, I'll be a happy camper. [/QUOTE]
