[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 2241447, member: 9551"] I have to catch the "CLR" mistake. I have a minor in Chemistry. Not enough knowledge to be an authority but enough to be afraid. CLR is a blend of acids. It will attack copper before chrome and iron, but this is a risky proposition. Where the stainless steel is lacking a copper or carbon blanket, it will go after the barrel. CLR is certainly not for unprotected carbon steels. I would favor an abrasive to remove the lead rather than acid. I like the wool felt pellets from Brownells with a metal polish like Fritz. [/QUOTE]
