[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 499281, member: 26019"] Don't get too excited about bake ons. They always come back with coating where you do not want it. Talk with the company that sprayed it and ask them which solvent or stripper softens it up. I have successfully used cold parts cleaner (the kind auto shops dip carbuetors in) and citric acid ( available at solvent suppliers) once it is softened use a bronze bore brush and clean it out, it will leave a discoloration that goes away within the first box of bullets shot through it. Some of the bake ons will even come off with acetone if cleaned within the first week after they are baked. I now make wooden corks to put in the chamber and muzzle and mask the parts I do not want coated. A painter that knows what not to coat does an excellent job. [/QUOTE]
