Test bed for carbon/combustion ring cleaning solvents

[1911nut]

So I was out today shooting a couple old 5 screw Smith K22 revolvers I brought back from dead.

I shot about 100 rounds through each, Eley Club, target and Midas.

When I got home I used Bore tech rimfire blend on the cylinders, lots of the carbon ring was removed with one wet patch, bronze brushing was still needed to get the chambers shiny, more on one gun than the other.

The thing is the ability to easily inspect the solvent’s effectiveness on the carbon ring in the six revolver’s chambers. Six chambers, just hold up to a bright white surface to view.

I’m not endorsing BT rimfire blend, I’m just suggesting a 22 rimfire revolver would be useful in testing different solvents and cleaning methods to address the carbon-combustion ring.

Bore Tech Carbon C4 works....period.

I shot 216 357 Mags in my S&W 686 at a fun match yesterday. C4 makes it a pleasure to clean off the carbon.

I use the Bore tech rimfire and one of those blue nylon brushes, if needed ,in all the my rimfire now.

I was using Slip2000 Carbon killer, it works great but it has a warning about it coming in contact with certain gun finishes and that made me wary.

The dreaded centerfire carbon ring in the throat is subject to much higher pressures and not representative of what you will see in a rimfire so I don't think the testing will apply. I may try some on my 22LR's though, thanks !

1Merlin, where do you get the GM top engine cleaner At half the cost of Bore Tech c4?

Where I can get the Top engine cleaner it is about fifty cents an once less than c4 but it is not half the price.

I'am not tying to be snotty, just want to see if I can buy the top engine cleaner cheaper than I have found around hear.

Thank you.

Thank you USMCDOC.

I pour it into a Tupperware sandwich container and drop in my AR bolts and soak for easier cleaning. Seems to be as good as any of the purpose marketed carbon cleaners as far as far as I have determined.
