Cut and paste from a Rangemaster Precision Arms doco on barrel care.

Care of Stainless Steel Barrels

....NEVER use abrasive pastes – RPA recommends a good quality solvent for cleaning such as Hoppes number 9 or Sweets.


So that's one maker that thinks sweets is ok for stainless.

I thought sweets was sort of a last resort for serious copper fouling that wouldn't shift?

I think I read it in an SSAA cleaning thing somewhere maybe? Don't hold me to that... Could be wrong.
