[QUOTE="Archfile, post: 1967740, member: 115075"] The following are a pair of photos from inside a .375 bore from a Ruger No1. Cleaning solution was WipeOut, followed with patches of metho, as you can see, the residue from the WipeOut a month later has still been turning the copper into an oxide or more likely a sulfate of copper. While more metho patches will dilute it further, I don't believe that the active ingredients are 'neutralized' by alcohol compounds. From the feel on the fingers of WipeOut and the Boretech equiv. I suspect they are mildly caustic. Thus an Acid would be required to neutralize this compound. I'm not sure that's what I'd want to be putting in the barrel. WHY do we want to neutralize the cleaning compound anyhow? I can understand removing all traces of the residue and being clean etc. But is neutralization actually desirable or a good thing?? I'm not saying its not, I'm just asking WHY ? [ATTACH type="full"]210834[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]210835[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
