[QUOTE="RustyRick, post: 1625899, member: 69572"] Well you sucked me into my story. I'm 71. I was told by old gun gurus as a kid, "don't put anything down the barrel except the bullet". I started hand loading in high school and shot lots. So being a red neck and Canadian, when our govt. decided we needed to register our long guns, I rebelled and put them in hiding. Then things changed and registration was eliminated. So for probably 12 to 15 years i never too my guns out of storage or read gun magazines or forums. Then with things opening I decided to get back at it I began to read forums, books etc. Now I learn there is solvents that remove both copper and lead as well as carbon. I thought "OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE". I imagined my beloved hunting rifle to be rusting out. So I bought solvent to remove copper, lead, carbon and the brass brush's to go with it. I was shocked to find no copper on the patches, no led, and very little carbon, and no rust. So, What is the right things to do? I have no idea. [/QUOTE]
