[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1231747, member: 38154"] If you use carburetor cleaner (spray), be careful when using it around plastic parts or stock finishes. Also, polymer weapons might suffer some damage if the carb cleaner spray is used. The spray is designed to dissolve varnish in carburetors (some of you old timers might know what that is). The varnish on older gunstocks will be damaged if some of the spray gets on it, or if your sights have plastic inserts, they will be damaged if spray gets on them. A better choice is brake cleaner, which cleans almost as well as carb cleaner but doesn't cause the damage to the plastic. Just remember that the spray will remove all oils from the metal, so make sure you apply something to the metal for lubrication, and to protect from rust. [/QUOTE]
