I have a couple revolvers with a substantial buildup in the chambers. These are 357 revolvers fires mostly with 38 specials. We all know that ring/buildup.
I used some Hopes. I used a bronze brush with some 0000 steel wool wrapped around it. I used a 357 case with a flare on end.
I know that acetone/ATF works well for loosening rusted bolts/nuts. I know ATF has some good solvent/cleaning properties.
Would a good soak, say overnight, help loosen that buildup? Would it be safe on a blued revolver? Plan is to remove cylinder and soak overnight in a can of ATF.
