Range Report - Birchwood Casey Lead Remover and Polishing Cloth - Pics!

[mosttoyswins]

Hey all,

After seaching different forums for a cleaner to get all the crud off of the cylinders of my revolvers, I decided on Birchwood Casey Lead Remover and Polishing Cloth.

Here are the before pictures of my Model 60LS and GP100...notice the buildup on the cylinders.



Here is the after...notice buildup is gone!



It took a little elbow grease but I am happy with the results.

I would highly recommend Birchwood Casey Lead Remover and Polishing Cloth.

No I am not being paid for this ad.

Thus ends my range report.

Well for sure, on stainless guns I do always find the leadaway type cloth a great boon - seems only way to get those rings off.

Mind you - shoot another cyl full and they are back!!

Nice to have a means of good cleaning tho - no doubt on that.

Hi there,

Thank you for the report!

I use Flitz and a soft cloth to do the same thing. It works everytime.

I still see .38spl rings in those cylinders!

Excellent.

How long did it take you? Did you apply the compound and leave it on there for a while (to soak in) before removing it?

hksw - it took about 25 minutes to do both guns. It just takes a lot of rubbing and elbow grease at first. Once the cleaner starts working itself in the crud was fairly easy to remove.

I have this cloth. It's great! It really removes the black rings on cylinder face and the area surrounding the forcing cone. It removes all those fouling where mpro7, breakfree clp, hoppes 9 cannot remove!
Anyone know what's in this stuff?

Lead remover cloths work great for that purpose. Stainless only! Keep in mind they warn against using on blued weapons, the cloth is supposed to remove the blue. I didn't feel like trying it myself!

I have used the cloth on blue guns. But I am very carefull to only use it for a couple swipes. You can tell when the powder burns are off. Just be really carefull.

I like the rings. Makes the gun look well used.

Good way to get rid of the rings is to get something more potent than powder solvent (like lead/copper solvent instead), and most importantly an oversized brush, like a .40 cal brush for .357 revolver.

Cleaning the chambers with the same size brush you use in the barrel is like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.

Any notion of how these would work on a nickel plated Revo?
I've just got to keep the bling going!
