[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2450089, member: 63925"] Maybe no issue on large heavy fittings but ammonia is well documented in affecting cartridge brass. The following is a standard statement from many different gun forums on using Brasso in cleaning: [I]Ammonia based polishes like Brasso will result in the nitrogen embrittlement of brass. After several months of using Brasso for keeping brass cartridges from tarnishing, you will start to see the neck of your brass case cracking due to the stress of the pressure exerted by the bullet. Ammonia will also cause the brass to lose its ductility causing the case to split upon firing. Be wary.[/I] This is one of those YMMV in using ammonia based brass cleaners. Brass is hard enough to find so I take conservative position and not use ammonia based brass cleaners. [/QUOTE]
