Good Evening Everyone,
I've always wondered if I could use products like "Berryman/Chem-Dip carburetor and parts cleaner" or "Gunk Carburetor Parts Cleaner." Has anyone ever uses these products to clean gun parts? If any of the parts are blued, do you know if it will remove the bluing? I'm not talking about trying to clean the the entire gun, just smaller parts, pins, pistol barrels, etc. I bought a 101 year old Rem Model 11 and it hasn't been cleaned in many many years and the oil, grease, fowling, etc has turned pretty hard and no about of scrubbing will take it off.
I used to use this stuff to clean lawn mower parts/carbs when I was a small engine mechanic in my much much younger days and it worked great. I'm sure the EPA has changed the formula by now..
Also, does anyone know if the Birchwood Casey bore cleaner is the same as Brake Cleaner? I've heard time and time again that it is and Brake cleaner is cheaper.
Any thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some links if you are not familiar with the products:

Brake Cleaners. Some are Chlorinated and some not. I'm not sure which is safest. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/we...leaner&vehicleIdSearch=-1&searchedFrom=header
