[QUOTE="rjnied, post: 1591764, member: 86341"] I am saying that the chemicals necessary to strip nickel from a barrel do a lot of bad things to the barrel. However, normal gun barrel solvents will loosen powder, copper, or nickel fouling equally well. Using those solvents in conjunction with proper brushes and patches will clean the barrel well to a point. For a hunting rifle that does not get a lot of rounds put through it, this should be fine. But if you shoot a lot rounds through a barrel such that either copper or nickel has fused to the barrel metal, then you have to chemically remove that metal from the barrel. Hence the reason for the development of copper fouling removers like CR10, Sweets, Patchout, etc. Those copper fouling removers won't work with nickel. In fact, they are specifically formulated not to attack iron/steel, nickel, molybdenum, or chrome in our barrels. [/QUOTE]
