So I take it that nobody knows what is in the cleaning solvent then.

No inline for me. You describe using alcohol as a cleaner on stand. I assume that this is a good cleaner for the barrel from the level of care you give your gun(s). In your opinion, would soking the barrel in alcohol(as I discribed) be as good a cleaner as the purchased black powder slovent?

I like your idea of the test and will try this.

The hole idea behind this is to prevent the rust and carrosion. Not to avoid cleaning the gun. I am looking for a fast easy way of suspending the rust and carrosion untill I can clean the gun properly. Sometimes that takes a couple of days for me. My next option is to quit hunting with the MZ and that is not an option.
