[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1318485, member: 2736"] I hate to see any rifle get damaged like that, and fortunately I have not encountered that problem (Not because I am any smarter, But because I have been lucky)Because I never leave any solvent In my barrels because I don't trust any of them that can actually dissolve copper fouling or any other fouling. I have tried many different types of solvents, and settled on the ones that worked best under the conditions of the barrel. I have been lucky with my choices and had good results with the ones I now use. Some solvents were just to messy, Some were to harsh on everything else if it found it's way on to other areas. I tried plugging the barrel and did not like the lack of control and the mess. So I still recommend the conventional method of brushing or swabbing the barrel with a good solvent (Muzzle down) and patching until it is clean, Then applying a light cote of oil until the next use. PS: I also believe in a periodic cleaning on stored rifles/firearms just to make sure nothing is going on. This has been a very good thread and hopefully it will save someone from the damaging effects of barrel solvents if not used correctly. and we all can learn from it (I Did For sure).
