I think it is a direct result of Todays High Grade Steels that are being used.
I think that these solvents may react or (may not react at all )with certain compents that these companies add to their steel.....
Thus resulting in surface rust or a poor cleaning job that results in more time being spent cleaning instead of shooting....
I have an older gun made in the sixties that has never given me problems with shooting, cleaning etc.aHusqvarna 30-06..
Nope, That Husky doesn't weather the harsh conditions of the cold,not by a long shot when one compares it to Stainless or something else that is being used .
My Dad owns a much newer Browning 30-06 and there is considedable more time spent cleaning the gun..And it is much more finicky to the
type of solvents that can be applied..
Maybe this is your calling. BC..Invent a Solvent and Market itTomorrows Solvent for Todays Guns, Faster Cal.'s and High Grade Steel..
