Hi Experts.....What's the best powder solvent to use on a nickel-plated revolver? I believe one without ammonia would be the safest to use, yes? Thanks.....BT 0 -
Remove the wood stock if possible, if not, protect the wood by spraying away from it. And spray down with Non-chlorinated brake cleaner.
It's the same thing as gunscrubber only alot cheaper.

Gun oil, a cleaning rod, snake bore and a silicone rag should be fine to remove greese from the metal/barrel. I can't help with the wood as I have not had to do more than wipe my stocks down. I did sand, stain and seal my Cetme, but I wasn't worried about messing it up 'cause it's an inexpensive gun/shooter. It does look nicer now, but I'd be careful doing it to a more expensive gun because it may decrease it's value.[:)]

Grab one of your old tee shirts and wipe off the majority of the visible goo, then run a few patches down the bore with an idea towards pushing the gunk out the muzzle.
Set it in the sun for a few hours to soften up any remaining grease/cosmoline and repeat.
I have no idea if the gun you're cleaning is worth anything, but the very thought of spraying it with brake cleaner gives me chills.
As always, make really sure it's not loaded before you do anything!
Once you have most of the goo gone, shoot it enough to warm it up and you'll "find" anything you might have missed.

Spraying with brake cleaner?? I've been doing it for years to get the grease, oil, crud and goo out of guns, reloading dies, bullet moulds. Works good. Buy several cans when it's on sale at the local auto parts store. Never had a problem with it. 0 -
Maybe cuz I clean my guns in the living room; I just can't see breathing brake cleaner all afternoon while trying to remember who's winning.
When I was married, I used the kitchen table. I also used a lot of MP-7 due to its' odorless quality and copper/lead/carbon gooifying ability.
I 'spose it's OK to use brake cleaner on a steel receiver or barrel; they use a whole lot nastier stuff when they make 'em.
Never have tried Gunscrubber; seems to take all the fondling fun out of the "chore" of cleaning.
