It's true what they say...

You do learn something new every day!

I was cleaning some of my guns yesterday. My two stainless revolvers (Redhawk & SP101) have rather filthy cylinder faces. Normally I sit there and scrub away with a brass brush and good ol' Hoppes.

This time I thought.... What if I used a drop of that Bore Cleaner?

Wow. Probably a quarter of the needed scrubbing, and the cylinder faces look practically brand new! And my elbow is still full of Grease!

I wouldn't recommend it on a blued cylinder of course. And I only used ONE drop, any more and you'd probably start scratching the surface...

Wanna learn something new? On stainless
and nickel guns try a small amount of Simichrome* as
applied by a clean, dry cloth. Works in a jiffy, w/o much
elbow grease.

*FootNote- Simichrome is available at most automotive
centers nationwide. Or you can oder on-line from:

The Western Wood Doctor

Price with shipping and handling is under $10 for a
50g tube; that will last between 3-5 years, dependent
on how much weapons cleaning you do.



WARNING: its a lot like Brylcream; as "A Little Dab Will Do Ya"

Even easier on the crowbait I mean stainless guns is a Lead-Away cloth. It will wipe the lead right off and take the burn rings off in seconds with virtually no effort.

DO NOT let it get on a blued gun.

Strongly agree with Ala Dan.
Been using Simichrome for the last 15 or so years on the knifes I find at the antique shops. It's amazing how well that stuff gets the grime off.
