GOODOLBOY I posted this once before and this is what I use to remove lead in the pipe. I mix a 50/50 solution of hydrogen peroxide and distilled white vineagar. First remove the heavy leading with a Hoppe's lead remover, they are caliber specific. Cork the end of the barrel and pour in the 50/50 solution and let sit for 15 minutes. I take a " Q " tip the type that is on a wood stick and lightly scrub the inside of the barrel. dump the solution out, dry patch and then a light coat of oil on the next patch if you wish.
Haven't had any problem at all using this method and I would challenge any one to find lead in any of my hand guns. I shoot lead bullest mostly.
Haven't had any problem with this removing the blue on any of my hand guns but I am carefull not to get it on the exterior. Give it a try. MC
