I like Windex if I cant boil water, I usually don't shoot corrosive ammo if I can help it, but if I do Boil water if you can
and if not use Windex and oil.
Won't the water cause corrosion in the barrel over time? I doubt if the russians were using boiled water.Buckhead wrote:and

Boiled water will evaporate quickly. Then the Hoppes and oil clean and protect the metal. I prefer the shit load of Hoppes and then oil only method, but that is me. Boiling water to clean is one of the old military cleaning methods. It was the way the British cleaned their Enfields, then oil. The Soviets were issued what I have heard to be water with a small amount of baking soda desolved in it, but I have never heard any definite proof to what the solution was; so boiling water would be a safer bet than going on rumors. I still prefer a shit ton of Hoppes then oil away for my rifles though.Montana-Manny wrote: Won't the water cause corrosion in the barrel over time? I doubt if the russians were using boiled water.
