Any problem using spray brake cleaner for firearms, aside from caution on plastics?
No, but plastics aside be careful around any stock finishes including handgun grips.Any problem using spray brake cleaner for firearms, aside from caution on plastics?
I occasionally use non chlorinated brake cleaner. As mentioned above be sure to completely relube after cleaning. Non chlorinated should be safe for polymer.
B12 Chemtool is cleaner, leaves no residue, and is easier on plastics. Brake cleaner is nasty stuff.
Do be sure to re-oil like @badkarmamib posted.

Yep. I like the Slip 2000 or M-Pro 7 gun cleaners, they will strip any oil and dirt and leave parts squeaky clean.Why use brake cleaner at all? You're cleaning a gun. Lots of products out there specifically for that.

That's probably worth a try. Since I don't clean my guns every time I turn around (Mostly just wipe them down with a Rig Rag, add a little oil here and there), the cost of a can of stuff like this isn't a big part of the decision.
