Default RE: To: Ruger Redhawk or Big Country

I have been told by a Chicago gunsmith to mix 50/50 tansmission fluid and MARVEL oil, run a patch in the
barrel with it....run a dry patch, fire it and repeat this 10 times.
I have never heard of this before.I have always done it the way you do!
Have heard this before. Never have I tried it. With modern metals, I wouldn't. Its not near as poreous as a old blackpowder barrel to hold the materials to make it foul less.

Marvel has alot of by products that might scare me to do this. I don't know the chemistry of it but I thought it had some metals in it. Might pit your bore. Might not. If you decide to try let us know if it fouls less. I am always open ears to learning a new trick.
