Firearm Cleaning & Maintenance Guns are mechanical tools that require routine cleaning and maintenance to remain dependable. This is especially true for defensive weapons that must work as expected when you need them the most. This forum will cover these important areas and encourage you to ask questions before taking on an unfamiliar task.

+1! Pencil eraser is great!

Mother's Mag Cleaner, from Auto Supply. Works great without messing up finish.

I know what you mean!

Get some RB-17; it will take that stuff off in about 1 minute. I don't care how bad it is, RB-17 is the best stuff I have ever used to clean a bore, or clean the coon eyes off a revolver cylinder....

Here is a link: Home Page

Good luck!

P.S. it will work equally as well with Hardchrome, blue stainless or any other finish....And it will remove it completely.... That is what sold me on it in the first place, when I saw it demonstrated.
