Liquid Wrench

Has anyone used the above as a solvent for cleaning their guns? On a lark I recently started using it and it seems to do the best job of any chemical I have yet tried. Dissolves carbon like it isn't there and gets under leading and makes it a snap to get out. Does'nt smell nice though. I'm talking about the stuff in the square tin cans with the tiny squirt spout, not the newer aerosols.

how does it work on the cylinder face as far as ridding it of the carbon?

I would not use it on a nickeled gun, my guess is it would undercut the plating.

I have used it for years on rusted bolts and such. Smells nasty pretty much the same as Kroil. I used a little of that the other day on a stainless revolver and cleaned it again with #9 and still smell it.

It is a penetrating oil,and can and will get into any area of the gun. Some area's where you may not want it. It is Not a lubricant. Kroil is similar, and is helpful in stubborn copper removal from rifle barrels.

Be careful to not get it in area's where it can get down inside the gun. I have heard it can accelerate wear.
