Donuts on my 686 Cylinder

Yet another who leaves the rings around the cylinder mouths of my 686 (a plus). My reason is that they will come right back the very next time I fire a load. I do not accept carbon buildup in the flutes, however. There I use Leadaway cloth and my fingernails.

If it is carbon, why couldn't you use a little oven cleaner? -just a thought

I have long wiped my revolvers down inside & out (except grips) with Breakfree CLP before a range session. Most of the dirt & powder residue wipe off after. I was sorry when I got lazy & skipped it. Our range officer adopted it for the dept for the next qualification... Better to prevent it than try to scrub it off after.

Whatever you do, do not use steel wool, unless it is stainless steel wool. It will result in corrosion.
I clean with a bronze brush. It removes most of it. I don't worry about a little discoloration.

I use hoppes 9 and a patch. Get the residue off and dont worry about the discoloration.

A plain old pencil eraser will take most of it off just fine.

Another Nev'r Dull user here.
I never thought of this one. Very basic and simple.

this works every time on a stainless, won't cut the metal or stain the surface.

Those little "donuts" are a test to see if you have OCD or not.

Nev-R-Dull is what I've always used & it works great..
Why not? Here's the front of the cylinder of my 65 I just did the other day the way I described above.
Lots of corrosion here huh?

Guys, went down to Wally World this morning, back in the Automotive Department & found a 5 ounce can of NEVR-DULL for $ 4.47. Came home & tore off a small piece.. used it on the "donuts" and whata job. Took them all off that Hoppes #9 would not remove. The ones in my picture on page one are all gone. Thanks a million for the recommendations. It really works.

A stainless steel brush, a little elbow grease and good ol' Hoppe's No. 9 will take it off.
