[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1447128, member: 1521"] Sweet's itself has only 5% ammonia, and this will not ever 'hurt' barrel steel. The problem is with the blue copper salt if left in the bore to dry or longer. Don't do that. If you run cycles of Sweet's, keeping it wet, you can do this for as long as it takes to stop producing blue, if days, or weeks, without hurting anything. In other words, don't use & leave Sweet's in a bore like you might other cleaners or oil. Use it as the copper cleaning phase of your bore restoration. Then do what you will for bore storage.
