Rust spots

[BRDHNTR]

If I find any surface crud on my guns, I'll spray a little G96 on a Frontier Pad and scrub it off. When I'm cleaning the interior of barrels after a shoot, I'll spray G96 on the brush which also has a few strands of a Frontier Pad wrapped around the bronze brush, then scrub the interior surfaces before running the patches through. One can not say enough about Frontier Pads for cleaning interior/exterior surfaces without harm. I prefer G96 over all other cleaning agents (I don't find this stuff in too many places) as it cleans without harming case colors or blued surfaces. My experience only.

I don't think Hoppes No.9 would be around for nearly a hundred years if it removed bluing. I can believe it might stain or have some effect on cold bluing (Birchwood Casey or Brownells Oxpho Blue), but not cold rust bluing, hot bluing, or nitre bluing.

Just got a new bunch of Frontier pads. They're selling a new lube/cleaner/protectant called Safari Charlie so I ordered a bottle. Just tried it on a 1 frame 16 project and it did a good job. I still use WD-40 when I'm serious with the rust. Safari Charlie cuts the hardened gunk right out of screw slots but haven't used it long enough to see it's full potential.
