Thanks Steve.
Not arguing with you but, I think Hoppe's has ammonia in it as well.
Anyway, I also like to let cleaners do their work.
No problem. It has ammonium hydroxide in it, which is a weak base solution of ammonia and water (called ammonia water by many). There is an acid additive, whose name I forget, which counteracts much of the negative effects of the ammonia water.
...I haven’t written any books, don’t live in Canada.. but if you used a bore cleaner worth a chit you wouldn’t have to soak your barrels in hoppes for 3 days.. If you were truly lazy like you say buy some wipeout run a wet patch down the barrel and walk away for several hours and repeat if desired.
But I like the smell.
