I would like to try a Birchwood Casey lead removal cloth on my stainless steel revolver but I am have some trouble finding any.
Can anyone tell me where I can purchase one.
 
I couldn't find any in Canada, not sure they are sold up here or not anymore. Ended up going to eCop on eBay. Get the three pack.
 
Thanks for the info.
I did contact Birchwood Casey and due to not having french on the packaging they don't ship/export to Canada, they only export a few items that now have english/french lables.

Muhahaha Quebec strikes again! Thou shall not have clean cylinder faces until we separate! HUZZA!
 
I had my local hardware store bring it in under the name - "Lead-Clean Cloth" by Pro-Shot Products. www.proshotproducts.com Ph. 217 - 824-9133

Works great to remove lead in the bore as well. NOT friendly to bluing or case colours. Believe it or nit, there is some kind of surface on your SS revolver. The cloth will remove it and you will have a very shiny surface resembling a high polish nickle finish.
 
There must be an echo here ..... I thought I already mentioned that it was NOT bluing friendly.

There is NO French on the Pro-Shot Product I mentioned. Somehow our Home Hardware Store was able to stock it, along with a host of other gun related products - cleaning gear, powder, primers, bullets, etc.
 
You used to be able to buy a metal polishing cloth that worked in a similar fashion, it was a lot cheaper than the Birchwood Casey one.

Haven't seen that one in years, it had a strong lemon smell and it did a great job of taking the black rings off the front of a stainless cylinder.
 
I got one years ago at a then local gun store in London. It works great. If I had a stainless revolver id be looking for another one.

Have you compared their lead clean cloth with the Birchwood Casey one?
I ask because I did see a comparison between the Birchwood Casey and the Hoppe one and the Birchwood Casey was by far the better cloth.
 
I used to buy and use the Birchwood Casey product when it was available in Canada. Pretty hard to do a comparison when you can't get the product, no? Don't know if I ever tried one by Hoppe.
The Pro-Shot product works both in the bores of my guns and externally where applicable; a lot better than a product we can't get any more.
 
I'm pretty sure that the Shooting Edge in Calgary still has some in stock. I picked one up there a month or two ago and there were still a few there then.

I will add that the Birchwood cloth plots the Hoppe's out of the water. There really is no comparison for removing fouling from the front face of a stainless cylinder. The Hoppe's just can't keep up I'm afraid.
 
Amazon [dotca] has Hoppe's and Pro Shot cloths; lots of Birchwood Casey targets, but no B-C cloths.

The Hoppe's claims don't rub too hard on blued metal and you'll be fine. Pro Shot offers a ‘lead’ and a ‘metal care’ version, the lead being un-safe for blueing. Besides those there is an array of waxed or siliconed buffing cloths (which don't remove lead).

I tack on a B-C on a Brownells order, or grab them in gun stores when I visit the U.S.A. They do work better than the competition, so maybe it's a particular chemical which is more difficult to import?
