I have a build up on the cylinder face of two revolvers so that it's starting to interfere with locking up and rotating the cylinders. What's the best way to remove it?

Green scrub pad and Hoppes, etc., etc.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

If your guns are stainless or have a plated finish (EN, hard-chrome, nickel, etc.), these products remove lead and carbon deposits quickly and easily. Don't use it on blued guns, however. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q90/923/Ld4PZ9.jpg) https://www.amazon.com/Kleenbore-Gu...ative=165953&creativeASIN=B002IEIDG4

I have an old note from someone on here that says 50/50 Hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar.Don't know where or who it came from or if it works Saddlesore, This is known as the 'Dip' and is used for cleaning the lead out of rimfire suppressors. It actually puts the lead into solution... Because of this it is quite hazardous, and must be handled with care and disposed of as hazardous waste. I use it for my rimfire suppressors, but many folks will not touch it due to it's toxicity, Jerry Also I should note that it will damage aluminum AND it is to be used with titanium and/or stainless steel only as it will attack carbon steel.

First is to get rid of soft bullets. Lead build up on the outside will mean you have a chore to protect finish.

There was a product called the "Lewis Lead Remover" sold by Hoppes, last I heard. It uses a bronze mesh patch that mechanically removes the lead without any damage to a steel barrel. I don't know if they still sell it, but it worked fairly well. I used them for magnum revolvers, but never needed them with autoloading pistol barrels.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.

Cylinder face...Kroil and a brush or lead wipes if stainless. Barrel...Kroil and brush (wind pure copper scouring pad material onto an old brush) or Lewis lead out. Barrel gap...smash a .223 case neck flat in a vise and use it as a brass scraper (paired with Kroil).

A pencil eraser works quite well.
