Hoppes #9 is a copper solvent, and IIRC the Continental rep said= the injectors are made partially from brass, which is a copper-zinc alloy. --Mark On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 10:56 AM, Kevin Stallard > wrote: I use gun cleaner.

The finished product is clean outside and spotless inside. The la= st photo shows the troublesome deposits on my injectors.

This #2 is still= showing some black after an hour of repeated cycles in the bath. These i= njectors were obviously quite dirty and overdue for cleaning. -- For archives and unsub http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/lml/List.html
