rattus58,
The US military has owned more guns than any of us ever will and they always prescribed hot soapy water up to and including the Garand for bore cleaning followed by dry patches and oil patches for bore preservation.
Alcohol, peroxide, Windex, et al work because they are WATER BASED. I have used hot, soapy water for more years than I care to remember and I never had a bore rust. I suspect that is due to proper initial cleaning.
