Here is a fast and safe way to remove carbon stains/rings from the face of your stainless steel cylinder face:
...put some Iosso Bore cleaner paste on a q-tip and apply on the rings. Use a blue hard nylon brush to rub off. The rings are removed quickly and easily, and you don’t have to use a bronze brush. Clean off excess cleaner from the face with cloth patches (and inside chambers since some excess cleaner will sneak in) with some Hoppes 9 and you’re good to go.
(Note: I just use Hoppes 9 and the nylon brush on blued cylinder faces...just faint rings remain. I don’t want to risk taking off any bluing with a stronger cleanser as Iosso).
