I thought recoil pad. Shows how good my memory is, now if I could find my pliers.

If you call to order the pads while one is $6 ask about buying by the dozen. Very cheap then. I bought a dozen and then sold enough to friends that have a number of guns to recover my money and I have many left over.
For cleaning a barrel you cut a piece of it off and wrap it around a bronze brush. I ran mine at a slow speed with a drill and it did a lot of cleaning of the bore. Last edited by Jerry Harlow; 09-10-2012 at 01:36 PM.. Reason: right place after all |

Wow these sound great! I've always used something similar, what's called a Chore Girl. They're a copper scouring pad, you buy them at the grocery store in the dish soap aisle. You've got to watch though, and make sure you get them that are 100% copper. Also bronze wool works great too, though it's really expensive. I'll have to buy a sack of these Frontier pads to test out. I'm constantly cleaning up old tools and knives, guns too obviously.

I always used 4O steel wool and Hoppes till I tried dipping the 4O in RIG, and like the results better for fresh rust. I have not had the lubed 4O do any damage to a hardened finnish or a rust blued finnish. Anyone know the hardness of generic 4O? It seems to be less than that of any typical gun metal surfaces.

Frontier Pads
Even 0000 steel wool removes finish eventually. I use that on my last few coats of rust bluing to avoid scratches which will require additional coats. I can testify about the Frontier pads. I had a set of damascus barrels that were completely brown (rusty), but underneath the pattern existed. I had taken a lot of rust off with 0000 and oil but was starting to remove the pattern. I then used the Frontier pads with nothing and they do cut the rust without damaging the finish in my experience.

Fred,
I did the same till I discovered bronze wool, no change of finish damage with that as it's so soft. But it costs like $8 for three small pads, so I use it sparingly. DLH

I place the barrel in one of those plastic case like things with the rubber clamp fences. Then I scrub the dickens out of the bore with a standard wire bore brush after running a soaked patch down there. Seems to work okay so far. I've been doing it this way for about fifty years!
