I have recently plunged into the world of the AR rifle and have a question about cleaning. I want to be sure that I do not damage the gas tube when using solvents. Gun Slick foaming bore cleaner ( a product which I find very effective) is not recommended by the manufacturer for use in gas powered semi-automatic rifles. My guess is that the reason for this is that it would enter the gas tube and be difficult to remove. This foaming bore cleaner seems to have a copped solvent as one of it’s components. I would imagine that Gun Slick does not want users introducing a copper solvent into the gas tube and causing damage. Does this sound correct?
If that is the case what experience do other members have using copper solvents (Barnes CR10, Sweets, Etc) on the bores of AR rifles? Do we have to worry about not being able to remove these powerful solvents from the gas tube?
