[QUOTE="Sargesniper, post: 1091953, member: 61726"] I wrap a paper towel around the barrel. Pour denatured alcohol on the towel and let it sit. Evaporation is rapid and no concern of rusting. Regular alcohol will work but is not as cold as denatured. I even use it to clean out carbon. Be sure to follow with light oil as it cleans and dries the metal out leaving it unprotected. It will not harm blued barrels if that is a concern of yours. Just another way to "skin the cat." It gets pretty hot in south Louisiana and waiting for a barrel to cool takes up too much shooting time. [/QUOTE]
