[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1915434, member: 2736"] I would recommend using a good (Not strong) bore solvent in lieu of any abrasives to clean a barrel bore. read the labels on the solvent and see how long they recommend leaving it in the bore. This will tell you how strong it is and whether it will damage the bore if left in to long. there are many solvents to chose from. I normally keep 3 or 4 different kinds so I can chose which one to use depending on how badly fouled the bore is and how long I plan on leaving it in the bore. The fastest i use is Sweets, but I never leave it in for more than 3 or 4 min. Next, I like the Butches bore shine for general cleaning and break in. It can stay In 8 to 10 min. If I am planing on leaving the solvent in over night, I use Boretech eliminator. And for long term storage or removing other solvent residue, I use Hoppes, or just oil the bore. The use of abrasive cleaners will/can shorten barrel life, so I personally don't recommend their use. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
