Intermittant use of corrosive primer ammo

[John Sukey]

I am rather surprised you guys havent heard of an armourers funnel. I bought a case of them from Canada years ago, Stick it in the arse end and pour a kettle full of hot water through it. (It's the water, NOT the ammonia in windex that washes out the primer salts.) I believe John Denner still sells them and he is in Canada. Why boiling hot water? Every barrel has microscop cracks in it and the salts are driven into those cracks. The hot water expands the metal and washes out the salt. The Army used that method for near 70 years. If it didn't work, they would have stopped using it.

Ed's Red... 20 bucks per gallon. Its a similar composition to what the military armories use to mass clean guns. It meets and exeeds most cleaners and solvents that you buy in the store for 50 times the cost.

Climate is an issue. I forgot to mention that my situation is that I fish on the Atlantic. Relative humidity is almost alway 100% this time of year.
