As I do a lot of shooting, I'd like to be able to field strip all my guns at once, drop them in a pan of XXXX, and then come back to clean them later. (Wood obviously gets wiped down OUTSIDE of the magic pan).
Since Hoppe's ain't cheap by the gallon, is there any more plentiful agent that I could use to remove gunk and grime, fouling, etc that won't strip the bluing off? I suggested kerosene, as its uber-cheap, and seems alright, (you strip cosmo off of SKSs with it, I hear).
I also have Acetone, but I hear that will suck the bluing off pretty quick. I haven't done anything yet, but I'd like to really let the parts soak, and often.
Anything that works for y'all?
