[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2216123, member: 10755"] G’day all, Would like to make everyone aware of my mistake today and to not repeat what I did. I had the day off, so decided to clean my 25-06’s and 1 of my 300’s. Always start with the stainless rifles first. Anyway, the stainless rifles took no time at all, but my Ruger needed a good scrubbing and some soaking as it was carbon rd up real good. I used CLR in it and swabbed it out as per usual then ran some Hoppe’s No.9 in and put it away to soak. Then grabbed my Kimber 8400 and proceeded to clean that, but at some point, I ran CLR down the bore without realising my mistake....well, it works really well at removing any blueing down to bare shiny metal in short order. If I had of noticed sooner, maybe everywhere it touched I could have wiped up before any damage was done....oh well. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
