Bore solvents

[Lumpy Grits]

if someone wants to put Muriatic acid in their gun bbl. Had better do some research on what it does to steel.
Most engine blocks are made of either alum or iron. Neither of which a gun bbl is made from.

That's the beauty of muriatic acid it doesn't attack the steel or the cast iron only dissolves the alum or the zink lead based coatings like cad plating which have to be removed to weld the steel parts.
Some times it would take a while to get the alum off the bore. It would leave a very light surface rust if not rinsed or wiped off right away.
Be interesting to research affects on steel, also this is what plumbers have used to clean sewer pipes for many years.
I believe the standard neutralizer baking soda will stop the acid action.

Then use it if you want
I'll stick with my 50/50 mix of Dextron ATF and Turpentine.
I would suggest you call a few bbl makers and get their input-I'm pretty sure what they'll say.
