<P>Just bought a can of Gun Scrubber last night and cleaned my gun this morning. Wow. This stuff is pretty sweet at cleaning a gun plus its not harmful to any camo finish or any other plastics. While I found a good cleaner I am yet to find a lube that I am happy with. I got some Wincheter lube like Total Fiream Protection so we'll see how that works. If you guys out there have a good lube let me know. I tried rem lube and wasn't real impressed it gets to gummy in my opinion and rem dry lube could never get it applied quite right.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">Be careful with Gun Scrubber around plastics. Most are not harmed by it, but a friend of mine, back in the late '90's sprayed the trigger assembly of his 3" Charles Daly semi auto with it and dissolved it. It looked like someone had played a propane torch across it, it was so badly melted. I don't know if Charles Daly is using the same plastic to make their trigger guard assemblies, or if Gun Scrubber has the same formulation as it did back then.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Also, I have seen problems with some of the solvents damaging plastic magazine followers, my BPS12 and BPS10, in particular. They must have had Charles Daly plastic in them.<IMG src="http://www.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" align=absMiddle border=0> Don't just shoot the stuff down the magazine tube until you have removed the follower, if it is plastic. Otherwise, Gun Scrubber is great stuff. </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">Carb cleaner and brake cleaner work, too. However, Carb cleaner will potentially harm some plastics and finishes. It is better used away from both. Brake cleaner is not as aggressive a cleaner as carb cleaner, and has not seemed to harm plastics or finishes on the guns I have.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">All of these cleaners will strip the oil off metal, so make certain you adequately reoil to prevent corrosion after using any of them.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0px">I used gun scrubber in my basement and it wasn't really well ventilated and the stuff seemed to burn my lungs. I still use it, but only outdoors in the garage. Dunno whats in the stuff but it seems to be caustic.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> </P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">KM</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px">My Experience with Case/Birchwood Gun Scrubber:</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px">After a day of shooting we were cleaning guns and some got on one of the stocks of the black powder rifles (a Knight rifle I believe) and it started eating through the plastic almost instantly until we sprayed water on it to remove the cleaner. It didn't affect any of the other guns we had been shooting.</P>
