If you use it I'd take the wood right off it first. I thought I was careful and wound up having to re finish a stock.
The secret is, use a bore guide and keep the muzzle pointed down.
If you use the foam, hold the spout tight in the chamber, until the foam stops coming out the end.
Wipe Out is great stuff. I use it for everything I own. I even use their black powder Wipe Out on my BP Cartridge and Muzzle loaders.
I prefer the liquid patch out type to the foam type. For one thing, it goes a lot further.
The secret to Wipe Out, is not to get to eager about the amount you use.
With the foam, a short burst is plenty. With the liquid, the patch only needs to be wet, not dripping all over everything.
I also use a chamber guide and have a small plastic bowl to catch any drips that might come out of the muzzle.
Wipe Out is great stuff. If you have a badly fouled bore, apply a shot or a wet patch and leave it for 1/2 hour. Run a patch down the bore to clean out the residue and reapply.
Don't scrub until your arm hurts.
According to the fellow I get it from, and from the literature on it, it can be left overnight in the bore, without doing any damage.
They also make a product, called Lead Out. It works quite well but not as quickly as Wipe Out does on copper fouling.
For those of you that attend gun shows in BC, there is a great guy there that operates a business called
Dewdney Products. I will let you look up the rest of his information.
He distributes to a lot of gun shoppes aroung the province and into Alberta. He will ship anywhere at your cost.
