Yeas ago, I used a product called Lead Away. Got back into guns and couldn't find any, but, then found a good supplier.
Anyone know what the active ingredient would be? I'm not looking to make my own, but, this stuff is incredible in removing crud from cylinder faces, crud around the forcing cone etc.
You can run a patch soaked with whatever liquid you use, patch and patch until clean, then, run the lead remover patch through and it's like WTF is that stuff coming out now? It looks as though you hadn't even cleaned the barrel when a lead remover patch is used.
There's 2 different brands that I know of, but, they both seem to have "the stuff" that just wipes crud off.
