If Melonite is Tenifer....then there must be a ba-jillion Glocks that have been damaged. I just took a quick look at mine to verify the damage - but I could not find any. Lucky for me, I've been bathing my Glock in Hoppes for years.
Seriously - there are some very strong ammonia based bore cleaners available. All of the ones I have used warn against leaving it in the bore for more than XX minutes to prevent damage. They all also warn that it can damage the finish of firearms. I have never seen, or heard of, a firmarm actually damaged by one. I suspect that it is possible, or the warning would not be there, but also very unlikely.
