For all shooters out there who mess with lead bullets and notice a buildup of lead and powder residue on their firearms I offer mattjoe's simple quick cleaning tips, which will make your life substantially easier.
This is targeted mostly to people who are shooting revolvers and have a great deal of blackness building up on the cylinders of their revolvers. There is a great simple way to remove all this crud that is built up and makes your gun look unpretty.
I personally do not like revolvers because I feel they do not hold enough rounds and are not as much fun to shoot as auto-pistols, but revolvers have their place.
Mine are all stainless steel high gloss shiny guns, bought to shoot in the occasional cowboy action shooting game when there is nothing else to shoot. I noticed how ugly the gun quickly became after firing a couple dozen rounds through it. There was much black soot like stuff built up all over it. This could not just be wiped off easy, and using WD-40 on it would not remove it without a great deal of effort.
So, I decided to experiment. I was worried about ruining the finish at first, but after trying it and seeing it does not, I can safely endorse this method.
Go to under your sink and see if you have Soft-Scrub. This is a cleaning thing that generally is used on stains in the bathroom, tub and on tiles. It removes mildew and other forms of dirt and grime.
It was not until I decided to see if it had any other uses that I found out how quickly this stuff removes the junk built up on your gun.
Just place some on your gun, get a paper towel and rub it off. If you have let the stains build up for awhile, it will take more effort to remove it. But, if you try this soon after shooting, you will see that crud come off faster than you ever thought possible. You can even clean out the chambers on the cylinder if you place a bunch of it on a cleaning rod or bristle brush and run it through a bunch of times.
Soft scrub cleans out those powder and lead stains faster than any special cleaner I have ever tried which was designed to clean guns.
After using the soft scrub, take the parts you used it on and run them under hot water. Dry them well, even use a hair dryer if you wish. (steel heats up real good with a hairdryer so be careful) Wipe dry, oil, and you are all set.
No more stain.
Soft Scrub to the rescue!!
